Yeah maybe. I don't know, it still feels to me that "people should not trust verified accounts because they may be scams", and bad actors can still make 10k unverified accounts.

If people learn to trust verified accounts, it becomes a risk (they shouldn't, since it is not completely reliable / it was completely bad for Twitter), right? And if they don't learn to trust verified accounts, then scammers have no reason to pay for them.
