You're leaving out the most important part, being verified but having no organic support means powerful interests are backing you against the population. Often this is journalists that push unpopular war propaganda and strategically ignore corruption and war crimes committed by the US and Israel.

Its just as often people that like to show their bodies as well as software developers, so bad take. Your observation happens, but you're reading way too far into it.

I really dont understand what you mean.

I also dont understand this lol. So you admit this happens but just don't think I should care that much? Well I do care about the rich parlaying their wealth into political power by buying up newspapers and social media companies ala Jeff Bezos and Jared Kushner and the Qutaris and I would hope you do too.

After brands, verified accounts are mostly models, sex workers, followed by vain people that are closest to the verification database

Journals and newscasters would then be much smaller

I don’t have any other opinion on the matter (or quantitative sources)
