@mho It's quite something to pay $8/mo for the verificiation badge only to want to hide the verification.

I mean, I can talk at length at all the bad decisions since Musk's takeover, but that would take too much to go over and fully process it all. Plus, it would mean I actually put more thought into Musk's decisions than he has, and... nah

@soheb @mho
A number of celebrities (like LeBron and J-Lo) were "gifted" blue checkmarks they never asked for and protested b/c they didn't want anyone to think they were supporting #Musk.

So this new option to "hide your checkmark" was likely added just to avoid getting sued.

@MugsysRapSheet @mho while I appreciate your viewpoint, I doubt Elon Musk is afraid of being sued given all Twitter lawsuits from not paying employees and from companies for not paying bills etc.

@mho @BlackAzizAnansi It’s great to see this, I was briefly worried that they didn’t have a coherent business plan, or indeed any plan at all

@mho The badge of authenticity is now the badge of shame.

I'm a little surprised he isn't charging extra to hide it

@mho, they should avoid writing long posts too, then. There are probably more signs that someone is a subscriber.

@Krazov @mho That's what I was going to say. If their posts are above people with blue checks that's another, so they should avoid replying to other people as well.
