so Elon getting rid of legacy checkmarks and expecting people to subscribe to blue to get them back and them just not doing it is the best outcome to this.

And the fact that he took away the service to make it a subscription really misses the point of why it existed in the first place.

Has this man made a single good choice since he bought twitter, I don’t think so.

right lmao

this is not gonna go the way you think, Elon

just admit you're a failed social experiment and go back to throwing money at cool projects for other people to figure out

Right just go mess with more rockets and let this site to someone who knows what to do.

This whole thing is completely baffling to watch, truly.

Already seeing some big name accounts simply deactivate.

yep

this is not a thing people will do

Well, people not spit shining Elon's dick, anyway

LOL so apparently people who were verified are still verified the ui just hid it. Looool

They couldn’t remove the verification in mass by the deadline (4/20 ayyyy)

Some accounts have theirs flickering in and out

flglmn on Twitter

also imagine telling literally legend Stephen King he’s a lying clout chaser

Stephen King does not need Elon for clout, the dude does just fine on his own

RIGHT

I'm pretty sure fuckin' all of us heard of Stephen King well before we heard of the Muskrat

I was reading King in 6th grade which was in.... 1999.

same! I just read one of his newest books Fairy Tale and it was amazing, the guy is such a good writer

same but my mom was a big Stephen King fan so I was aware of work well before I actually read his books

1996

The Green Mile - I read that as my second Stephen King work my first was the tommyknockers. because we had the linger on the house so it would have been then. and I'm pretty certain it's over the summer when I broke my leg and was stuck inside all the time
