Twitter was doomed the instant the blue checkmark became "approved" rather than "actually is"

@Sophistifunk the blue swagmark should've never existed. the "actually is" is a problem. verified to be "vErY iMpOrTaNt pErSoN" gives the assholes who had attention monopol their status back.
@Sophistifunk thats not the point though, something like twitter never should have become this "official news outlet" thing it is.. training people to look for checkmarks, instead of training them to view anything they see on social media with a grain of salt also didn't help the world, imho :)
@bonifartius LOL that ship sailed 30 years ago, and we’re better off for it. Approved and limited media sources are even easier to censor and feed.
@Sophistifunk idk, the net hat the chance to be something better, but maybe people just don't want something better 💁
@bonifartius I’m not at all OK with impersonating motherfuckers.
