The status quo is that you need to be a Lord to get the blue check.

This makes it available to anyone who is able to get a Netflix subscription.

It goes from a status symbol to a commodity. The Lords will hate it because it makes it available to the peasants.

Not in my experience. I follow plenty of blue tick accounts that aren't lords, merely notable within a niche.
