I posted this as a comment before I saw this pinned one so sorry for the repost but I want you to know: hey gabi great video, good stuff, high quality content just wanted to let you know scentbird is fucking you - they have a promo for a bigger discount than your code and if you try and put in your code too it says no because it's not as good of a deal. I assume that means you don't get paid for yr referrals cos no one can use the code right now. sorry to be the bear of bad news (if you hadn't already heard) 🐻 edit: im really sorry to add any criticism whatsoever to this but I saw another comment addressing this and then felt less crazy - "reactionary" is different from "react" content. it has to do with political stances - I would be shocked if any of your friends were what I would consider to be "reactionary" - imo typically having a negative reaction to "progress." I assume capital has to defend itself by pretending like being a reactionary is independent of the newness of the idea it's reacting to. second. I guess I'm a boomer by virtue of being solidly millennial but Lockheed??? When I was v upset about the Iraq war in high school is when I learned about them (2002 - 2006). I worked for a major corporation that had a conference room in my office building named after them because they were a major client. I love you and I love your content and I truly do feel like a boomer in a way but I don't like empowering people to feel good about not knowing things 😕 I'm not suggesting they should feel bad for not knowing things, ignorance is neutral unless it's purposeful. Sorry I got drunk after posting the original comment? I do love your content you're great I ain't going anywhere.

[@harrypuddles]

huh wow I guess I can't read since it says from November 20 - December 5 and it doesn't say edited and I can only assume that's when the better sale ends? still not great for you because if anyone checks out the site before then and sees that there's a better deal then you're still not getting the credit for sending people to the site...

Twitter isn't going to collapse overnight. It's going to tank in stability, lack moderation amd coverage, and struggle to hire people qualified to actually go into and understand the coding of the site itself in order to replace those people who have left

[@Hudebusa]

i doubt twitter is really going anywhere. i mean hey, its been a year since you said this. its basically the same with youtube where there is no good alternative, and its comfortable here, so where else would people go? facebook?

[@jinx7641]

​@@HudebusaQuite a few good video essays on this, actually. Instagram is getting a feature very similar to Twitter--threads, i think? And it's already rather successful. There are alternatives. A lot of people use youtube shorts over tiktoks nowadays. youtube, i think, may be the only irreplacable video sharing platform for a while, though.

[@temporallobe]

The point of verifying an account is to make users aware that it is in fact the official account of a public figure. For “normal” users, no, it makes no sense to be verified. Its a feature that should be used to avoid ID theft or impersonation, not to have bragging rights. If a platform wants to have a premium subscription service that offers benefits over regular accounts, getting verified shouldn’t be one of them. Great video, btw.

[@pythondrink]

Same thing I've thought. Twitter Blue verification is insane lmao.

[@Ahmed-Soudi]

Exactly!

[@bgmac08]

Why would you want verification when you can commit identity fraud and be everyone?

[@lietz13]

verification is like trademark, it's precious to people that have it, other people want it for themselves, and it actually exists to protect everyone else from being mislead, tricked, and defrauded.

[@vurpo7080]

Spotify verification kinda makes sense: there's so many artist pages on Spotify that are _intentionally_ not controlled by the artist themselves (cause it's just a music page for someone's music, who might not even be alive anymore!) so it makes sense to have a mark that just means "this artist is actually on Spotify themselves". The meaning of the mark is pretty different from whatever it means on those other sites.

[@zulal9926]

I wanna mention that Tumblr also has a verification system that has nothing to do with verification but they made their own blue checkmark to make fun of twter. You get 2 for the price of one and you can buy as many as you want. After a while they turn into rainbow colors.

[@Ruinwyn]

This was actually useful in regards of the _actual_ value of verification. Twitter has become worthless since the 8$ marks were completely unverified and it's not easy to separate earlier versions that might have had some checks from the new ones. Instagram badge doesn't prove quality content or follower numbers, but even those selling the badges can't bypass the identification. That is important info regarding the likelihood of scammers on the sites. Twitch probably does extra push to badge holders, which is why they curate the process so much. I'm pretty sure Spotify verification is purely for technical copyright and bootleg prevention reasons. I suspect that KZbin is also mainly for technical reasons regarding stuff like feature rollouts, support etc (I know the support is bad, but probably still better than to those without a badge). Spotify and KZbin don't need id because their assumption is that the value and identity is specifically built by the content of the account and impersonations of existing celebrities are easy to catch.
