Same here. 2.5k followers, probably tweet 4x per day. I do not give a shit about being verified. I have never so much as investigated what it would take to get verified. If I had >1M followers I suspect that I would also not give a shit.

Maybe if I were a brand? But... idk. I guess our company account could get verified, not sure I'd bother.

For very large companies it seems like it's in Twitter's interest to have them verified, less so for the company. ex: fake "Coinbase" accounts are all over Twitter telling you to send them a dm to reset their account or whatever, it's in Twitter's interest to reduce that content on their platform. Making it harder to differentiate "real Coinbase" vs "fake Coinbase" seems like it will only increase their problems.

Similarly, everything I have seen from Musk so far has made me consider alternatives. In fact I wonder if the time for Twitter has passed for me. It was excellent for growing my career initially but at this point I'm more likely to network elsewhere, more likely to ask for tech help elsewhere, etc.

Agree on the utility for corporations of having an "official" account to guard against impersonators. But if Twitter becomes a ghost town it probably won't even matter if you're verified or not.
