They could have added gold checkmarks instead with additional features and whatnot, because the two are not mutually exclusive. But instead they chose to capitalise on the prestige that the blue checkmarks already had, thereby devaluating the whole concept. It’s a really weird choice if you ask me.

Gold checkmarks are for brands, which Twitter reportedly wants $1000/month for. So basically, they're like Twitter Blue, except not for poor people.
