It’s crazy but understandable that media outlets started calling Twitter “X”. It’s batshit bonkers that they’re calling fleeced users “verified”, as if the word didn’t have prior meaning and it isn’t still widely used to this day (and long into the future)
Regrettably, I accidentally implied that the linked slop generator is a media outlet. Point still stands though.
