verified account status these days is meaningless. most of the truly interesting, unique thoughts come from accounts that are not. this is of course my own take after having been on the platform since 2010.

Do you know what verified means? It does not mean endorsement or "high quality user". It just means an account claiming to be a real life person is indeed actually that person.

Do you know that most old school (circa. 2010ish) users know that, but that new school users thinks it conveys "expert" or "authority"?
