Threads need to realize the importance of the blue check and implement it. Prior to Musk, I would see a tweet, open the replies and look for the blue checks to see what "prominent" people were responding. Now that the blue check means nothing, that's impossible and you have to weed through all the content.
You can argue that's a good thing, that a person with 10 followers might be as interesting as someone with 100,000 followers, but it's not for me.
But you still have to pay don't you? I like verified users, but I also want to know who is prominent user. So maybe two badges? One just for verified ID and one for prominent user (the old blue check).
