As Twitchy mentioned earlier, the idea has been floated to charge verified accounts to use Twitter. Hey, that blue check grants you a lot of credibility … why shouldn’t the New York Times pony up to have its reporters verified?

On the other side of the argument is that Twitter has verified people like David Hogg, who thinks that if anything, Twitter should be paying him for his awesome tweets that are just as often misinformation as they are insipid.

Remember that one glorious moment when verified users were locked out of tweeting by accident, and it was just us normies in control of the conversation? It was pretty awesome.

True. Which is what makes Twitter better.

Exactly.

Exactly. Since Hogg is a Twitter “influencer,” he should organize a walkout of sorts and see if Twitter shuts down.
