Can some explain to me why millionaires are getting upset about having to pay $8 for a blue check mark?

Explain it to me like I drive around by myself wearing a COVID mask.

Thanks.

And I'm being "for real". I don't get why people are upset about a app you don't have to use?

I don't now. But it is worth remembering that Patrick Tomlinson paid an amount worth 625 months (just over 52 year!) of Twitter Blue just to get his account back.

This is the first sensible question you've asked on here. The trick is to be so good no one can impersonate your work.

The obvious answer is that most of them see it as a "political" point of "principle" not to bend to the will of evil alt right bigot Elon Musk.

The other answer is that most rich people are the cheapest fucks you'll ever meet.

I wouldn't pay when Twitter makes money from users content either. It's like paying to write into a newspaper.

They want their historical validation to continue without any additional effort. Also they're fags.

It's not the $8. They are shrieking because their clout badge just got stripped from them. The tweets are more performative activist outrage these extremely online NPC idiots have been doing for the last 7 years.

Yes to the second part. That’s why they’re millionaires. Because they typically don’t spend their money like a Cumia or Tomlinson.

I can't find it now but someone did the maths with how many people who had signed up to get the blue tick and it wasn't many at all. Twitter has already backtracked and given accounts over a million followers the tick to make it look less embarrassing for them

Because they are better than you and I. They've been told this most of their lives and social media previously has also reinforced this belief by the majestic check mark. If they pay for a check mark like you and I can, well that means they are no longer special.
