the beauty of elon and the blue check is he captured the overwhelming majority of independent media personalities - and they did it "voluntarily" - incredibly impressive but also very dark

the broken incentive of corporate media is they are controlled by the corps that fund them - we see the same incentive playing out on twitter right now but elon added himself to the equation - the same entities that control CNN and Fox control twitter - blue checks that step out of line will face similar repercussions their mainstream predecessors faced first - loss of reach and revenue

fortunately nostr fixes this
