Oh, you must have missed the update where blue checkmark people can HIDE their blue checkmark... So, you cannot even reliably filter/ignore based on that anymore...

I have good news for you: all major browsers have partnered with X to make it easy to filter out people who pay for Blue. If you look closely at the browser tab, you will see an "X" icon expressly for this purpose.

I think the X button is there for other reasons, I'm not sure if it has explicitly anything to do with X?

Mate it’s a joke, he is saying you can always close the browser window that has Twitter opened.

My mistake. Seeing the lack of humor and pedantry often on this site, I'm often led to take things literally.

Slow clap... Bravo, well played!

Of course they did that. So you'd have to use a user script to read each account's profile to see if they have a tick, which would be a pain even with caching the results.

Just opened Twitter to nose at their HTML, it still hasn't managed to load the homepage in the time it's taken me to write this entire comment lol.
