The formula's simple: register an account for $8, impersonate someone famous, tweet something that'd be crazy if true, get a few RTs. The algorithm, seemingly untended by Twitter's skeleton crew, does the rest. Current Twitter could not be a less reliable source for information.
@kevincollier it's almost like what we all knew was going to happen...happened. Wild.
@kevincollier was the exact example I used with my NBA-loving Gen Z family member about why Twitter will die. What happens when Chams and Woj go somewhere else? And he got it in .2 seconds.
@kevincollier gonna be even more fun when real verified badges are removed

@kevincollier
El algoritmo en Twitter no entiende que cualquier Gil puede obtener su check de verificación por 8 dólares!

Así que cualquier persona se compra el check de verificación, se pone el nombre de algún famoso, y empieza a twittear boludeces...

Y Twitter las prioriza como si fuese información real!

Y no pueden cambiar el algoritmo porque despidieron a toda la gente que lo atendía 😂😂😂😂😂

@kevincollier Have you not seen what has happened to #AEW's Ethan Page?!?!

Dude was hacked by some MAGA anti-globalist dude that went on an anti-gay tirade before going on a anti-globalist tirade against MSM.

Page has so far not gain control of his account yet.

@kevincollier They might even try a credit card chargeback when the account is shutdown without receiving a month of service
@kevincollier I would love to see a FO for this FA.
