If you need proof that #Twitter has become a self-replicating joke, just consider these two headlines from this past week:1) Twitter to remove legacy blue checks from non-paying accounts starting 1 April [ I will feel honored when he zaps away mine. ]2) Twitter to provide option for paying accounts to remove blue checks [ to avoid the embarrassment of being exposed as paying for Twitter ]You can't make this stuff up.

@lauren But, but, but, Elmo is super-rich, so he is always super-right. This must just be part of some super-genius plan that we are just too super-stupid to see.

@rss Presumably because they want the other features associated with a paying account.

@lauren Smart if they want to conceal how many don't give two shits about the blue check 'oh they just paid to remove it'.

@lauren @rss I thought the post boosts were not implemented yet (based on a discussion I saw over the weekend where people were complaining about lack of boost), and partial ads doesn’t count. So I thought the feature was displaying you had a valid payment method….
