    What the hell does "corrupted" even mean here? He's in full control of the platform. Is it being corrupted by the fucking chaos gods?

      If I had to imagine a real answer here it's that no one kept track of why people originally got the blue check and so now he can't selectively uncheck people he does not like.

      Yes. Nurgle has cast a divine plague upon their code base. Any who attempt to work on it become infected and turn into putrid sacks of grease and bile.

      I'm guessing they've decided that removing blue checks from people they don't want to have them is too difficult and will come with too much of a blowback.

      So what they will do is sunset the blue check entirely to remove absolutely everyone from it, then they'll bring in a new system and start from scratch while refusing to give it to anyone that is remotely left wing.

          The premium is a separate thing to verification. A verification system is still a necessity for the site to run properly so it's got to be something other than just that.

            Am I misunderstanding that he's ending the verification system then? I know he's already been over this but he does operate like a drunk toddler.

              He's ending it but you shouldn't expect it to stay gone for long. It opens up too much impersonation.

      Because it's from :my-hero: it may be some bazinga take on "corruption" that means "le sexy feeemale waifu now has different colored glowing eyes which means she must be rescued from aforementioned corruption by le manly man" like in ActiBlizz slop. :so-true:

      It's just like when he said "the tech stack is sooooo crazy we can't do anything" it doesn't mean anything, it's just an excuse.
