Now that all it takes to get a blue check is the willingness to pay a monthly subscription, imposter accounts have been popping up all over X and getting them taken down is harder than you’d think.

    Hi, a quick suggestion, instead of uploading 2-3 minutes videos, can you please upload a compilation of all making a healthy 15-20 minute video — that would be easier to watch instead of going through each of them separately because every 2-3 minutes I have to close the video and open a new one. Love your content by the way! Keep growing! 🎉

    I don’t know if anyone can in good faith believe his “too many bots” reason for buying it. He hated that him and his hyper-neo-conservative tech-bro buddies were constantly getting dunked on by strangers and being punished by the platform for breaking their rules and he couldn’t take the criticism

    LOL. There are people who _want_ a verified Twitter account? LOL. And give over personal information! It gets more and more patheticer around the web every day; Oh, and Musk didn’t buy Twitter because of the bots. It’s quasi-political because it involves someone in politics who knows zero about politics or anything else that matters in the world except how to not pay bills to developers.
