I think it’s more that the average “verified” Blue subscriber just paid money and provided contact info, without actually providing ID at all. Now they’ll also verify an actual ID, and put some additional identifier next to your check to make you “more trustworthy.”
In other words, more Elon nonsense.
edit: in some cases, people just buy already verified accounts from a third party service. It’s a total joke from a verification standpoint.
yeah, they have no idea what they’re doing, just trying to scrape in $ however they can with Elon’s latest deep thoughts, from a base of inherently suspicious people.

I see. Thank you! That makes a lot more sense. They make it sound like an “opt-in” feature as opposed to a new (old) requirement
