Verification apparently gives you a bunch of features that makes twitter a not lovely platform to use, so there is some genuine reason to want it. Verification enables a bunch of different filtering options that free you from interacting with jerks unless you seek out the jerk-interaction experience. If you are e- or actual famous this supposedly makes twitter amazing, because your thousands of followers who all love you become like a more advanced version of google/amazon services, delivering you any information you ask of them.

Verified filtering isn't a block list, or at least not a lovely one like the ones you can sign up for. I think it's done semi-manually by twitter staff. There are other verified features as well, I think. idk I don't even have twitter, I'm just repeating poo poo ive overheard while stalking various celebrities.

But what if saying they hate you provides a carthatic release for them, and it makes you happy because your goal isn't to be liked, it's to improve people's lives by encouraging them to direct their negative emotions towards a target other than their loved ones?
