  I think other people can buy the blue checkmark for you on twitter, though my information may be faulty.

    …Feels pretty Tech Bro to me. I don’t think this is a case of “I have no choice but to use Twitter.”

  You either do it, or someone else will do it and start impersonating you. People with any kind of public/online presence sorta have to unfortunately.

    they can still impersonate you. the checkmark has lost its meaning when everybody has it.
