guess the blue check mark is verified as a dud deal...
ALT A screenshot of a parody deal from the Slickdeals website. It is on a square background with a faint repeating Slickdeals logo. The parody deal is for a "Twitter Verified Blue Check mark plus Free Ego Boost". It shows the iconic Twitter verified icon in the middle of the screen. It looks expensive. It has a strikethrough of the original price of "Free". It is now showing for $1000 per month. There are 420 downvotes and 69 comments on the parody deal.

In 7th grade, my friends and I convinced a large number of students to put the name “Heywood Jablome” in the school raffle and when the principal read the name in the gym, we all screamed for five straight minutes. Everyone got a detention. That’s how Twitter feels now.

Elon Musk spend his money on buying a social network just to stroke his fragile ego. Dolly Parton spent her money on putting 150 million books in the hands of children. BE LIKE DOLLY.

A few hours ago, Twitter laid off its entire Accessibility Experience team. This is sad not only because so many lost their jobs, but because so many more around the world may lose their voice. nitter.gq/gerardkcohen/status/15…

Looks like Elon Musk fired the entire curation team.
These were the folks who tackled misinfo, contextualized conversations via the 'Explore' page, and helped make Twitter an unmatched source for breaking news.
This will make Twitter noisier, more dangerous & less interesting
