This extension shows you who has paid for Twitter verified

No more scams: this extension allows you to distinguish between people who have paid for verification on Twitter and those who are actually verified.

Chaos reigns on Twitter since Elon Musk bought the social network. In recent days we have seen a huge number of changes that have only led to unacceptable behavior for a social network that aims to keep its advertisers happy, and that is, something like this had never been seen.

In fact, the purchase of Twitter On the part of Elon Musk, what it has caused is that a huge number of people decide to organize themselves to try to boycott possible advertising campaigns within the social network. The way to do this is through mass blocking of advertisers by users..

By urging massive blocking, what is sought is that company accounts lose interactions and, therefore, the campaigns they have in development are not carried out or that the results are not as expected. Despite this call for a boycott, Elon Musk himself is the one who has made the situation even worse than expected.

Among its latest measures, it has been proposed and, of course, carried out that all users who pay for Twitter Blue have access to verify your account. What this measure has done is that countless users begin to name themselves after public figures, institutions and companies with a disastrous result.

True verified or false verified: Elon Musk creates the disaster in his social network

Such has been the disaster that Elon Musk has had to back down and no, it is not a pun with his Tesla cars, this new measure has been eliminated and users who pay for the Twitter Blue subscription will not earn the verified one. Of course, the damage is already done. Right now on Twitter there is a huge number of verified accounts for no reason.

These accounts have caused chaos throughout the social network. In fact, it can be seen in the different interactions they have had with the rest of the users. And, it is that, even a person has decided to impersonate the official Twitter account and having the verified one, it is impossible to verify its veracity at a first glance.

The worst of all have been the accounts that have been impersonating Elon Musk himself using letter combinations like “e1on_musk” which, at first glance, is almost indistinguishable from “elonmusk” which is the real username of the South African tycoon. Seeing all the chaos that has been generated, an extension that allows us to distinguish verified accounts.

Yes, it hasn’t taken much for a group of people to get down to work and create a truly useful tool within Twitter. Also, unlike what Elon Musk wants with Twitter and of course Twitter Blue, the extension is completely free and can be downloaded from the creators GitHub.

The operation is quite simple and, in fact, the integrated photo along these lines exemplifies how it works. By having this extension installed you will be able to see the people who have paid to have the verification and, of course, the people with a real verification. The message “Paid for Verification” will be displayed if it is paid.

For real verifications, the message that will appear will be the following “Actually Verified”. With this verification you will know that the account with which you have had a heated discussion is not the official profile of a company, person, service or etc. This being precisely what has been happening within Twitter in recent weeks.

The installation may be the most complex part of this whole process. To start this extension what you will need is to go to the following address “chrome://extensions” and once inside you have to activate the development mode. Having done this you will only have to download the file of the GitHub of the creators.

This file is zipped and you will need to unzip it in order to load it into the extensions panel. Of course, it must be made clear that, for the moment, andThis extension only works in Google Chrome. After loading the extension package you will only have to restart Google Chrome and enter again.

This was genuinely the smartest idea. I can’t believe people didn’t see the genius in Elon Musk when he decided “hey for a company that makes 85% of its revenue in advertising why don’t I give picklerick69hitler420 the power to be the verified account of Nintendo” pic.twitter.com/TCw5wG5QUG

If the extension is not working, it may be because it has not been activated correctly. To check its activation, all you have to do is go to the extensions section of Google Chrome and see that it is activated. After this it should work correctly and indicate when a profile has purchased the verified one.

In short, Twitter is a real dump and in recent days it has become one of the worst places on the internet out of necessity. What Elon Musk has done can achieve what Twitter’s competitors have never been able to do and that is to ruin the social network. All we can do is watch and watch the ship sink.
