Jeff JarvisWell now in the waning days of Twitter, I will have NO reason to ever look at "for you," populated as it will be with the fools who bear the Blue Check Mark of the Eight-Buck Schmuck.
TradeshowGuy@jeffjarvis “Eight Buck Schmuck” 😂😂 I think that’s a keeper!

brucy@jeffjarvis Look, the integrity of Twitter polls are at stake. Those are BINDING.
lukashauser@jeffjarvis A good time for you to cancel your account there.

John Gordon@jeffjarvis they are planning to make check display optional. You won’t know who didn’t pay.
Sheldon RamptonI've been played for a loser and played for a fool,
I've been busted and dusted and kicked outta school,
But no matter how much my life may suck
At least I ain't no eight-buck schmuck.
My pockets are empty, ain't got no dime
I've done the crime and done the time,
And I'm broke and busted and down on my luck
But at least I ain't no eight-buck schmuck.
I may be broke and busted and a two-bit cruiser
But at least I ain't no blue check loser.

@jeffjarvis AI bot swarms are taking over Elon's Twitter? How about that.
Erick RM@jeffjarvis Why use Twitter anymore, there must be something else that journalists can use as an alternative. If enough people use an alternative social media it will grow with time. Don’t forget to use #hastags #Mastodon etc., by the way. My stomach didn’t have enough strength to keep using #Twitter
Mcgruber@erickrm @jeffjarvis Not sure if you have checked out tribal yet but it’s pretty good. I quit Twitter a few weeks after the takeover and joined mastedon and tribal- enjoy them both. Takes a little time getting used to these sites but much calmer.
shaneLol. I still go with “Space Karen” but “Eight-Buck Schmuck” is a close second.
