I have sixteen of the tumblr Verification checkmarks.

I bought some myself as a joke, and then folks gifted me more.

They are just the funniest possible UI choice—they look so broken, they become beautiful.

Hey, Joe Hills in the Wild! Fancy seeing you here.

I fully agree, the checkmarks are hilarious.

How can you have sixteen of them if you are the sole tumblr user?

It's cumulative, every time you buy you get two checkmarks, and the more you buy (or get gifted) the more you get. You get a lot of checkmarks next to your username.
