    I recall reading (forgot where) that someone with the Blue Check-mark has more “weight” when retweeting and responding to tweets. And that the Blue Checks can easily bury anyone without a Blue Check in Twitters algorithm. This was done intentionally by Elon to pressure people into paying.

    It’s why artists like Adam Ellis blocks anyone with the Blue Check; right-wingers hate him, and they can really fuck up his reach, so he just blocks anyone with the Blue Check-mark who replies/re-tweets his work so they can’t even interact with his tweets. And he isn’t the only artist that does this.
