Comment on I would have expected Meta to have learned by Elons mistakes but I was just asked if I want to subscribe for a blue tick to verify my account to make my followers feelnsafer

Does anyone remember being around people, when you were a kid, that awarded you behavioral stickers that are holographic and had various shapes like stars or animals?

This is exactly what this stupid verification thing is about. OoOOOoO, I’m so special that I got a fucking checkmark next to my name and I actually spend money that could’ve gone to something else worthwhile just to keep it! /s

I feel like we’re in a world where all of these companies are fronted by childish adults that treat all of their userbases like these kinds of kids. But they pretend that they’re adults because they do business things.
