> A decade ago you could quickly check the blue mark and know that the account most likely belonged to the person it was labelled for.

They routinely removed blue checkmarks of people that had naughty opinions. The account was known to belong to the actual person. This was no mistake, it was just the good boy badge being removed for vibes.

My point is not that Twitter now under its retarded billionaire king is better. It is not.

It was shit then, it is shit now. The world would be objectively a better place if Twitter had never existed.

The turd just smells different under Musk. You happened to enjoy the old smell.
