#Thread : I don't think people understand the "Outrage" over the Twitter Blue update so ill try to explain. The issue isn't the price. Being verified on Twitter use to mean something. It was something you had to earn. Through hard work and dedication #BlockTheBlue
But, Elon Musk basically degraded its value and basically made the badge pointless. Its Defiantly not "free speech" if you had to pay $8/Month for it. I personally see this as a test to everyone using the platform. #BlockTheBlue
If you buy the blue checkmark, you're not apart of the control group. If you ever watched The Social Dilemma or Black Mirror, this is all apart of the plan. #BlueCheckMark
We all know the main thing people seek out online is validation. Twitter Blue exploits that very thing. I know this sounds like something some tinfoil hat wearer would say but, here me out. #BlockTheBlue
There's Firefox, Edge, and Chrome extensions that automatically blocks anyone with a blue tick. if you have a blue checkmark, but didn't pay for one, be aware. As cringe as this #BlockTheBlue movement is, it has enlightened me to how dangerous this is.
Twitter Blue users can degrade a non-Twitter users profile, spread hate, false allegations etc. Based on the experiences i've had. #TwitterBlueTick
Free Speech isn’t free if you have to spend any kind of money for it. You’ve been tricked if you believe that lie. #BlockTheBlue
