Yes and I am quite sure that said bad actor going to such lengths would have been able to do the same at any time. (Better check with @Colonel_Klinck).

Blue ticks weren't available for all. How could I for instance do it? Or you?

Going forward you can see how easily you can right?

There is a clear difference

Shows a criminal mentality there , taking pecuniary advantage, and who is criticising Musk for breaking the laws. Taking the moral high ground is over I'm afraid colonel.

OK boomer

I know LOL paying money for a blue check mark how pathetic, the same people would probably pay 1000 for a gold one or platinum.

why not let people have their own custom tickmark for 50k

Musk could have left the blue tick for complete verified users (ID uploaded) and added a new 3 tier subscription model with new features. It's what I would have done.

yea well that would make sense, only the name on the debt/credit card allowed or verify with a passport photo.

any other way is just LOL open to abuse... how could he not see it coming

The blue tick will be abused without a doubt. There will be problems shortly. Maybe musk doesn't care, it's all about the income.

I think Musk is trying to make Twitter a subscription service to move away from having to rely on advertisers.

Yes. But the real bad actors will be using stolen credit card details to do it.

Sure. Do you think that's going to work?

2.6 billion active YouTube users. 20 million are all that pay. That's it. It's not a number that is growing by any means, as much as YouTube push it
