Should I get a #BlueTick?

Main reason I am thinking thinking of doing this is that my tweets aren't being seen as much as they should. This will allow more people to see my #FB tweets and get more followers.

Now I wish I had Blue Tick then I could have edited the tweet to remove the 2nd thinking 😀

Thread: Earlier process of allotting Twitter #blueTick/verification was unequal, hierarchical, arbitrary & anti-democracy. This is not a private company’s affair alone. It affects our public discourse, opinion making process and the kind of governments we form. Read entire thread
The blue tick verification is/was a badge of honour Twitter gives to only some of the accounts, out of its several million users. Those lucky few and honoured accounts are known as verified accounts. (Let’s hope that @elonmusk will purge it)
We can call these blue tickers an exclusive club of Twitter users, who stand on a pedestal and oversee from their rarefied, verified lens large swathes of masses, ordinary teeming millions, who have to be shepherded with their wisdom and opinion.
