It was bound to happen: Twitter users are impersonating real companies and the accounts are being “verified” thanks to changes made to the blue check system.
Nintendo, Rockstar Games, Twitch, and Valve are just a few companies that have fallen victim to fake accounts popping up, all of which carry the little blue “verified” check mark.
You see, anyone can now get a blue tick next to their name for only $8 thanks to a new policy implemented by Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk.
