As a status symbol which earned them more views and clout, to us non-elite it always was a badge of shame. The elite are now stripped of their privilege and now want to pretend to sympathize with those they looked down on before.
Shame on #Twitter and #Meta for doing this...shame on the former blue check mafia who only cared when their #privilege was lost
@edlouwe This summarizes one of reasons why I always despised corporate social media and wasn't able to engage in anything before Fediverse.
Offline world is enough unjust and inequal to make me sad and angry almost every day. Then I went to the internet... And saw and felt the same disgusting inequality even in completely virtual world created from thoughts and words. But that time I had at least a choice to not participate in that elite, big money and status-driven crap.
