> the only issue is that you can’t pay anonymously
that is by design, blue checks have two types of KYC - both credit card payment and phone number verification, with known burners blocked
that is the key to my issue with Elon’s blue check program, it creates an incentive to dox yourself: greater reach and engagement - going forward I expect the KYC requirements to get more burdensome, not less

The point of 8$ a month isn’t to actually profit, it’s to increase the signal for their advertising revenue, and decrease the noise bots create. The $$$ generated is just icing on the advertising revenue cake.
Agreed. There’s a reason Elon is paying the 8 for some of the well known people to retain a blue check. It isn’t just to troll
I would pay with sats, or even would get some USDT… but phone and Credit card.. NO NO. 10+ years after I still get messages from twitter asking me for my phone
