Reply to comment by wamdueCastle in Twitter Blue subscription users may hide their paid check marks soon | After making its paid Twitter Blue with verification service available to all, the Elon Musk-run company is now working on a feature that is likely to let users hide the blue checkmark. by MortWellian

Because it supposedly comes with a ranking boost (and if you are a Musk fan, the thrill of sending money to your hero), but if it is visible you can get mocked.

it sounds like advertising, but without the requirement it be marked as advertising. In theory it would also get around ad block software.

only what is being "advertised" is the posts of Elon simps, and a generic collection of right wing arse holes.
