Something weird is going on at X (formerly Twitter) and I don't know how to feel about it. After Elon Musk announced late last month in a Tweet that X would be granting Premium subscriptions to accounts with at least 2500 verified subscriber followers, the service is also reassessing who automatically gets verified blue check marks.
It appears I'm being considered as one of those users and the notifications have left me confused. To understand my conflicting emotions, we need to go back.
