    That’s how a subscription works, people pay money for benefits. Not surprised that X isn’t looking into paying accounts since they are short staffed (AFAIK) and low on money. No surprise at all, clickbait title here.

      Blue checks can also receive payment based on engagement from other blue checks, though. Doesn’t seem to be implied in the article that this happened, but it’s a consideration.
