#37: The Blue Check
The coveted blue check mark is a symbol of social media success and legitimacy. But did you know that some influencers are actually paying for that little blue badge of honor? That’s right, some influencers are shelling out cold hard cash to get that blue check mark on their profile. It’s like a modern-day version of paying for a fake ID – except instead of getting into bars, you’re getting into the elite world of social media stardom.
It’s like a secret society where only the verified can enter. But let’s be real here, does having a blue check mark really make you more legit? It’s like putting a “professional driver on a closed course” disclaimer on a Youtube video – sure, it may make you seem more official, but at the end of the day, it’s still just a symbol. So, if you’re thinking about paying for that blue check mark, just remember – true influence comes from the content, not the badge.
