Reply to comment by [deleted] in Twitter’s $20 verification charge, because you should pay Twitter to promote Twitter. by Core1989

And very wealthy celebrities are also moaning about paying a bill. 🙃

How are they moaning? They're saying it makes no sense that they need to pay for verification, which they're right. The entire point of being verified is for the followers to know they're following a legit person. The celebrities, journalists, entertainers, etc are the commodity on twitter. They're the draw. Asking them to pay to promote your product when they're the draw of the product is hilarious.

Then they can go to another platform. Instead a bunch of millionaires are bitching about $20. It eliminates so much fake accounts and bot farms.

That's literally what Stephen King just said. LMAO.

I’m not saying that I agree with the new verification rule but when they write a tweet that says that Twitter should pay them to write a tweet, I’d file that under “moaning about paying a bill.”

Why would they pay when they are providing the content? That's not how you get rich. Rich people already know that.

Asking Steven King to pay to be verified on twitter is like asking Tom Cruise to pay for the opportunity to be in the new Top Gun movie.
