I dunno, it delegitimised the usefulness of Twitter somewhat. Now you can't be certain that the NASA account that announces an apocalyptic asteroid is real or not.
I don't really use Twitter ever, so I'm not 100% sure, but isn't that what the colored checkmarks are for? Like he started charging for the blue checkmark, but then added gold and gray (and maybe others I don't know about?) for marking official organizations/companies.
