So, what episode are we at with the #Twitter Blue Checkmark saga? Here's the rough timeline as I understand it:

• Before Elon Musk: Checkmark is attributed discretionarily, mainly to prevent impersonation.
• After Elon Musk:
  1. Twitter Blue subscription is introduced that grants the checkmark.
  2. Impersonation immediately ensues. Twitter answers by preventing Checkmark accounts from changing their display name.
  3. Checkmark is divided in three colors: Gold for companies, Blue for individuals, Grey for government.
  4. Checkmark is derided for being bought out. As a response Twitter Blue subscribers ask for their checkmark to be hidden.
  5. Prominent accounts (like Beyoncé) lose their checkmark.
  6. Prominent accounts that kept their checkmark (like Ron Perlman) defend themselves from claims they have subscribed to Twitter Blue.

Am I missing anything? Even twitterisgoinggreat.com can't keep up with the madness.
