They charge for the blue checkmarks? And...people do it? I haven't had xitter since years before nazi boy bought it.
Yes, it was one of the more contreversial changes he did. Before, you had to be "vetted" by xitter staff as being both notable and who you said you were. That wasn't a great system, and was effectively a nepotism/who you knew game, but you wouldn't see blue checkmarks for fake accounts.
It used to be a sign of trustworthiness.
Now anyone can get one for a monthly fee.
