Mark Cuban says Elon Musk's Twitter is a 'nightmare,' and that letting anyone become verified has 'killed the most valuable part' of the app.
While Cuban thanked Musk for the “decline in all the crypto bots auto replying to my posts,” he says his verified mentions tab is now nearly impossible to sift through because anyone can purchase a blue check mark.
“I used to go through 100 tweets in my verified mentions. People who were curated by Twitter. Now it’s 2x and growing quickly,” Cuban wrote on Twitter. “And when it came to hate/trolls, it was rare from blue checks. But when it happened the engagement was epic. Now I have no way to filter the hate from the new checks, other than constant muting. Buy a check — crush someone’s verified mentions.”

Buy a check – Crush someone's verified mentionsMany people pushed back on Cuban’s comments, with one user writing, “No disrespect Mr. Cuban, but your experience on Twitter as a legacy blue check holder is likely very different from the average user.
Cuban responded, “With all due respect, I have burner accounts with 0 followers that I use actively. Precisely so I can have the same experience. I bought the blue check for 1. It still has 0 followers. But now I can enjoy ripping on you all and showing up as verified in your mentions.” With all due respect, I have burner accounts with 0 followers that I use actively.
