You all have no idea how important blue checks are to people. They view it as a status symbol, a life accomplishment and as a fundamental part of who they are as a person. And I bet a large percentage of them will happily pay to keep it.

Nah this is mostly just what weirdos who get really worked up about the existence of blue checks for some reason think

it's only tangentially related but i was wondering how these social media sites are still seen as valuable since i assumed 80% of people must be using adblockers by now which should zap their revenue but apparently it's only between like 30%-40% and has even dropped a bit in recent years. weird.

I use the app and also it's fun to see the ads you get after you've spent years blocking every conceivable major advertiser

Did anybody else actually text message to Twitter on their flip phones when it started out?

I felt like I was the only one. Pre-smartphone Twitter is so wild!

I did! But nobody I knew used it and I don't think I had unlimited text messages yet so it was just an empty novelty a few times before I ignored it for years

I have never lowered myself to having a Twitter account, but I did used to text searches to Google. That was a neat feature that nobody knew existed and was quietly killed in like 2011 or so.

My favorite obscure Google thing is that I used to call 800-GOOG-411 to get local business hours when I was out of the house
