Blocking Twitter blue users will be hard to do as Elon continue to force Twitter blue on high-follower accounts who refuse to pay for it themselves
Doesn't the API still disclose who is a legacy check vs who bought their check? I recall that being the case and seeing a browser addon that would udpdate the checkmark the last few times I used the bird site.

That's gone now.
Apparently Twitter have given blue marks to the people that were involved in the movement behind this, so they get blocked by it. Amusing.
Feels like how people constantly talk about "the orange site" and how typical it is and what not and then continue to heavily use it.
The "Orange Hellsite ." And Twitter is the "Blue Hellsite*". Both are bad, both still show up in my browser history. I don't know why.

This wreck will be studied in marketing courses for decades and decades. It's just amazing how badly this was played. Musk bought the company, immediately went to war against his biggest customers[1], then demanded that they all then pay him for a previously-free feature that... didn't actually do anything for the people who had it[2].

Twitter blue acts as a sort of convenient filter heuristic; just filtering the lot out, you’re going to have a couple of false positives, but it’ll improve your experience.

Stock’s up and has been going up since that sponsorship. Twitter lost half its value according to Elon of all people.
It's undeniable that the stock is still down.
With that said, it's less than what some people seem to think. But it's also just a stock value which is based on speculation. The important sales figures will be visible far later. Bud seems to take it seriously by replacing the people in charge and doing a terrible ad targeting "patriots".
