A comment on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’. Parent comment

A verified account managed by PR/SMM is probably better than a scam account of the same person offering you to get rich with this one weird trick.

A verified account of a newspaper is probably better than a fake one, spreading false news about the war in Ukraine, for example.

Managed by PR or not, a verified account stood for the person behind this account, and guarantees this is their (proxy or direct) opinion or a real fact about upcoming event, or information about a past event. Right now a verified account means nothing.

Obligatory mention of r/RealTwitterAccounts. The content at the time of the enshittification of verified accounts have been fantastically funny!

But you are absolutely right, that trust was very important.
