oh and YIL that Tony LaRussa is the main person responsible for verification existing, due to an impersonator. -- nm - Tim Nov 3, 17:51 5
- As was pointed out, as long as the new guy doesn’t have any recent arrests pointed out this week, he’s already an improvement! -- nm - spamlet Nov 3, 18:02 3
  - Parag got booked? When? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 18:14 2
    - (They're talking Chicago White Sox.) -- nm - David Nov 3, 18:20 1
      - Thanks for translating. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 18:31
- I remember ST (or TT?) conversations about that back in the day. -- nm - David Nov 3, 18:00
it's so strange to realize that the two sides are speaking entirely different languages here. - Reagen Nov 3, 17:46 9
- it's about not paying content producers, who make your platform valuable, for their content. like facebook did to video content producers. - colin Nov 3, 19:42
- Yes, very much. And to brands, they're *fucked* by this change. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 17:52 5
  - I could imagine brands thinking they'd forego the paid check and rely on "Official acct..." then find themselves with no IP protection help from Musk. - Max Nov 3, 18:55 1
    - however: under the current plan there's nothing from stopping *anyone* from claiming they're the official acct and ponying up the 8 bucks to say so - Reagen Nov 3, 19:04
  - seriously. he's gonna get his wish of a higher proportion of revenue from non-ad sources, but it'll be by torching his ad revenue. -- nm - mafic Nov 3, 18:02 2
    - Sure, you can change the numerator, but it's way easier to change the denominator! -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 18:08
    - ... and I'm not so sure the first part is true. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 18:04
- To Musk fans, blue checks will now go from being viewed as “elites” to people not having them as “the poors.” -- nm - Tim Nov 3, 17:49 1
  - someone compared it to NFT avatars and I nearly broke my neck nodding. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 17:51
And I'll bring all of my "why did this top-post??" energy, itellyouwhat -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 17:36
