> When everyone can buy a checkmark, it becomes nothing

Where does it say everyone can buy a checkmark without verification? I read this as everyone can be verified, which is a good thing. And, it will go a long way to killing off the bots.



I think anyone can, because later he mentions:

> There will be a secondary tag below the name for someone who is a public figure, which is already the case for politicians

So, secondary tags are the new verification checkmarks and checkmarks are the new "Twitter+" status symbol.


Everyone can be verified, and still need a way to tell who is the famous Michael Bolton.
