So, in this blog, I ended on a tangent of how nowadays one doesn't EARN verification socials like the old days, before Musk sold out Twitter. I don't mind the name change, but every aspect he's done sucks balls algorithm-wise. For awhile, I was getting nothing, but porn, gay and straight. I've got nothing against porn, but I didn't need it clogging up my feed when I'm trying network for my art and whatnot. After exhausting my block button, I FINALLY got a feed I could work with. Now, X ISN'T my go to for networking and actually getting feedback, that'd be FB or IG, but that's beside the point.
Then, I started seeing...
Gone are the days of EARNING verification, where you had to have so many followers or have somebody of stature, say, like a celeb vouch for you, or be part of a pretty well known organization. Not that I was or am in the position to be verified, but when I do, I want it EARNED, NOT BOUGHT, AND FILLING ELON'S POCKETS.
I looked into getting verified on IG and FB as a package since they're both owned by Meta, AND I GOT THIS...
WTF!
Now, ANYBODY can be verified, like ANYBODY can be president as long as you're at least 35 and a natural-born citizen or a US resident for 14 years, otherwise everything's fair game, but that's another rant.
