Lots of features exist that no one cares about. You seem to be implying UX folks always get it right.

Long time but casual Twitter user here. I've never paid attention to the blue check. Anecdotal, but yeah.

Same experience as you, but there is a whole another Twitter checkmark market out there for people who want status: https://twitter.com/Timcast/status/1589016308968194049

That's a pretty bold claim that I'd have to see evidence to believe.

I do get your point though: it's quite probable that some users are very interested in the feature even if some or many average users ignore it.
