The ongoing Twitter revamp that CEO Elon Musk promised would “democratize journalism” and “empower the voice of the people” has been plagued by false starts, glitchy feature launches, and widespread refusal to dole out cash for “verified” check marks. The symbol that once held status has since become a sort of scarlet letter or a— people know what it takes to get it, and it’s bad.
Two users who lost and then mysteriously regained their Blue checkmarks told Gizmodo that they have not paid for Twitter Blue for months. Both users provided evidence that they are not actively subscribed to the service, and Gizmodo was able to confirm the removal of their checks via Web archive records. Twitter API data analyzed by researcher Travis Brown indicates the users first subscribed to Twitter Blue in late 2022 and are currently marked as verified.
