#blue check

I feel like ragebait and engagement bait is the silent killer on Tumblr. Some right-wing grifter on Twitter makes an outrageous post that they might not even believe, and then they get a bunch of us to respond.

They have a blue check, meaning they are making money from the engagement. So we're silently giving them support while draining our own energy reserves.

What can we do about this? The only thing I can think of is to find a liberal account with a blue check and every time we want to engage with a shithead, instead we engage with that liberal one.

What if we all did that, every single one of us?

I want to start a new twitter account called @3lonwusk and see how long it takes to get banned for repeating every tweet he makes bUt TyPeD LikE tHe SpOnGeBoB cHiCkEn mEmE.

The saga of Threelon Wusk will be short but glorious. I don't need a checkmark to get under the apartheid manboy's skin.

Place Your Bets!

How long until the new checkmarks break Tumblr?

How will they break Tumblr?  Will it be like the Rat Post, for example?

Will Staff fix it?  How soon?  How successfully?

Will people have to spend money, or will there be some free exploit?
