Worth noting that subscribers get promoted over other tweets, which I assume will still hold true even if hiding their status.

I guess that’s one way to avoid publicly disclosing how few people are paying for them.

ok my head hurts, why would you pay for a blue tick, only to hide it?

Soon you will be able to hide your account altogether by deletion.

I’ve had a verified profile since the beginning I just realized. I just hid the blue check all this time 🤷‍♂️

Wait, what?

They're paying for something...and they're going to want to hide it?

Tell you what: Send me your money and pretend like you're hiding the mark. It'll get put to better use than giving it to Musk.

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.

Why would you not want the option?! what aren't you hiding sir?!?! Some of us may want our official non official watermark to exist but not be scene. So that we may enlighten the masses while being unofficially officially involved in it! So we pay extra for the privilege of deception! It's all there in my new book and New York Times best seller, (ever since I sold one copy to my official Twitter page "@the new york times" its official but its underground you probably haven't hear of it. And I use that in quotes to promote my movie somewhere. You wouldn't get it.

They do this so if there are many high profile accounts that don't pay the monthly fee for blue check mark, there is plausible deniabilty that these accounts paid but are "hiding" it

Plausible deniabilty in case the roll out of paid blue check marks is a failure
