Why the Blue Check Verification Subscription on Meta Instagram and Facebook might not be worth it: An Unpopular Opinion

So, I saw this post about blocking fake blue check people on Facebook and Instagram. I tried to give my opinion, but it went about as well as trying to teach a cat how to drive a car. So, instead, I'm channeling my inner Nicki Minaj to share my thoughts on this topic.

Back in the day, getting verified with a blue check was the ultimate goal for anyone trying to make it big on social media. It was like a badge of honor, a signal to the world that you were the real deal. But now, Meta (aka Facebook and Instagram) is offering a blue check subscription for $14.99 a month. That's right, you can now pay for the privilege of being verified.

 Personally, I think it's a good idea to have a blue check to confirm that an account is legit and prevent impersonation. But seriously, $14.99 a month? That's like half a month's worth of avocado toast! Other social media platforms are also offering this feature, so the price should be reduced.

 So, what do you think? Are you going to fork over the cash for a blue check? Or are you happy to stick with being a lowly, unverified peasant like me? Either way, don't forget to join my community and sign up for my newsletter. Who knows, maybe one day I'll even have a red check mark!
