>She can't afford the $8
Chumbuds, what happened?

>>47857044
If I recall correctly, it's more expensive for corpos.

Wasnt she verified before?

>>47857023
Now we know the manager is impersonating her and the real gawr gura is not on twitter

>>47857044
Yagoo is a jew who likes money and wont pay 8$ for exposure

>>47857074
That was the old twitter verification system. Elon got rid of that system, removed verification for anyone that had it before, and replaced it with a system where you are verified if you pay for Twitter Blue and corporate accounts have to pay 1000 a month on top of 50 a month for each account under their brand.

just pay the fucking money you fucking rat
holy shit these retards think they are above paying for a checkmark but they will get scammed with other anime shit they buy online

>>47857132
even without verification, she'll probably get like 100k likes on a tweet that says "hehehe i got borgar >:3"

>>47857044
She can get verified, but since you get verified just by paying now, she could be impersonated just as easily. It'll probably take some fraud from some of the new verified accounts for them to change the system again.

>>47857182
the first wave of impersonators was pretty fun

>>47857023
I wouldn't pay it either lol

Totally deserved for being a lazy ass streamer.

>>47857023
>imagine paying Elon any money

This ultimate beta grindset. Good thing Gura is an alpha predator and doesnt follow the unikeks advice.

>>47857023
they keep shadow banning pekora, but at least the hololive tags can trend now, they were moderated by the old twitter staff.

>>47857023
Why is your trident emoji weird?

>>47857044
>paying for Twitter
It'll eventually happen or Musk reverts this dumb decision

>>47857174
It will only take one account like @gawrgurahololive to turn everything into a PR nightmare.
On second thought, EN management do need a PR nightmare to shake things up a bit

>>47857493
literally what type of shit could someone tweet as Gura that'd cause any kind of controversy?

>>47857587
I can't imagine.

>>47857774
I mean, they have to be believable enough for it to actually do damage. If someone goes "hey guys it's me, gura, and I hate niggers, jews, and faggots" there'd be no chance of the tweet actually causing a PR nightmare since nobody would actually think it's real.

>>47857493
Even if that's true, that's twitters problem, not Guras. They had a perfectly usable system for verification that they stripped and monetized because some weirdos thought it was a status symbol. Notable people who can be impersonated for scams or other financially damaging schemes should have some way to immediately tell who they are at a glance for free. Twitter is a long fucking way from being worth almost $100 a year.

>>47857823
You underestimate human stupidity. Plenty of people would believe it if the handle looks official, the icon looks official and there's a blue check mark.

Vtubers have replaced anime for me.

>>47857118
>>47857074
>NOOO SNEED
Cover's account is yellow verified.

>>47857993
The official cover account has more justification to be verified. Someone could impersonate them and be like "We're announcing the termination of Kronii because she was too inappropriate with men" and damage cover's brand, but individual talents are harder to impersonate in believable ways.

>>47857044
>>47857476
Twitter is no longer free advertising. American corporation looks at that decision and pitches a fit. Japanese corporation looks at that decision and says "Sumimasen" and forks over the money. All the girls will be hololive verified affiliate accounts within a month. Shit's a tax write-off anyway.

>>47857919
>Notable people who can be impersonated
It's obvious you haven't read the requirements to receive the blue checkmark.

>>47857968
Maybe in the beginning of Elon Twitter and the introduction of Twitter Blue. But twitter users are more aware that the definition of blue checkmark is shifting from “verified user” to “loser that spent money for a blue checkmark”

Cover doesn't pay for anything
They had to pay to travel to and live in Japan
When she had to dance for Fes, she had to go out and buy dance shoes
She asked Cover for a paper bag and they wanted her to return it when she was done with it
So I guarantee you they won't pay for checkmarks either

>>47857044
small indie vtuber please understand

>>47859220
why are japanese like this?

>>47857044
who the fuck pays for a verified checkmark? they should bring back actual verification instead of paying for it

>>47857044
Fuck Elon. Who the fuck would pay for his shitty bullshit?

He needs celebrities to draw eyeballs, not the other way around.

>>47857919
Twitter made it a status symbol by removing it from people they didn't like. It stopped being a verification system and became social credit that could be removed if you spoke out of turn.

>>47857587
>announcing: upcoming surprisr collab with Vox Akuma from Nijisanji, and Sykkuno (my biggest fan) from Twitch
>stay tuned for details!
That would make people go nuts

>>47857118
The funny thing is because Elon fired all the programmers they have to manually terminate every old blue checkmark account.
He ordered it done because he hyped rocket exploded on launch and some of the people with legacy check marks were making fun of him.

>>47857023
also rhymes with trident. coincidence?

What do you mean, the cute verified shark who asked me for my credit card info in exchange for exclusive streams wasn't actually Gura?
The fuck man

>>47857493
Good, maybe Cover is big enough to sue Elon and either a. he'll finally fuck off and put someone else in charge or b. They can use the settlement money to pay for said verifications

win/win

>>47859445
Nah, this is way better. I don't need some Jew think tank to determine who gets the rights to verification or not.

>>47857082
japanese jews are the worst

Spending money on twitter makes chuubas unicorn unfriendly. They'd have to know Elon bought twitter to know about Blue and the thought of a male entering their mind taints them. The only way out is if Elon transitions.

>>47860796
In areas outside of burger politics, it was a verification system still; it's a fact that holos used to have a blue checkmark while any impostor accounts couldn't get it. This is now no longer the case and so the value of the checkmark for holos has reclined hard.

>>47864521
only based post itt

If you think the new checkmark system.l is useless, just remember there are people who pay for Gura membership.

>>47859281

>>47861983

>>47864082
Now it's just Elon giving them out to whoever he likes.

>Everyone who doesn't get verification but makes fun of it pubicly is left-wing
>Everyone else who either gets it or don't is right-wing (they would only not get it because the left will make fun of them, since $8 is much cheaper than the previous bribe amount if you are a non-leftist mouthpiece)

>>47857493
This has never been a problem in the past, and most of them didn't even care about getting some blue checkmark.
Stop shilling for that (figurative) king of jews, druggy, and conman.

>>47859220
Imagine any company treating their number one like this.

>>47857023
its happening

>>47857023
>not one single part of the post which doesn't have a spelling/grammar mistake
See, this is how you know it really is her instead of management skinwalking on the Gura account.
She's so adorable.

>>47857993
So that means Gura is intentionally not using the checkmark as a political statement against Elon

>>47859803
>wont someone please think of the poor celebrities

>>47865647
They definitely did it to a british guy too, once they did it to anyone it was over anyway, it no longer meant verified, it was a good boy points mark

>elon fanboys
im really glad you people stick to holo and bait threads

>>47873742
>They definitely did it to a british guy too, once they did it to anyone it was over anyway, it no longer meant verified, it was a good boy points mark
Whatever you think it means in that context, holos had it and no impostor accounts had it because it was still impossible to get for some rando account. That's the value the mark had.

>>47867222
>whoever he likes.
*whoever pays.

>>47861674
lmao i was just about to say this, people would flip tf out, throw in somecallmecarson too cause he was trying to collab with gura too

>>47857073
It's $8 for single users. She's a single user, Cover would have to shell out $1k/month then $56 per user under their label.

>>47874957
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

>>47871801
Or, and hear me out, it's actually not big enough of a deal for her to care

>>47857587
They just posted it >>47857493

They'll announce Gura Insulin Bathwater is free, and it'll bring attention to how much they were overcharging for this vital treatment for the diabetes you get watching Gura streams.

Who's a bigger brapper? Mori or Elon Musk?

Fuck off Elon, you will NEVER be a part of the cool kids club.

>>47866467
Ask yourself that.

Cover doesn't want to be using this filthy gaijin website in the first place.

>>47882527
>t. someone ignoring they literally use youtube.

why would gura pay for something she doesn't use?

>Elon fanboys ITT arguing in favour of paying for twitter

>>47857023

Actually it is but it's because he's trying to put chips in our brain and not because he cucked out some woke tech bros and game journos.

>>47884637

>>47874116
and if some troon decided to unverify the ones who played hogwarts l;egacy or over some other random psychotic shit they wouldnt be them? fucking retard

Twitter is stupid and pointless, the only good thing on there is sharing art and memes. Drama is stupid. The people with political opinions are stupid. It's much better than it used to be, at least Elon got rid of fact checkers. You can kind of say what you want on there now unless it breaks the law. I still don't trust Elon, he probably some Martian needs to get back home cuz they booted him off Mars. Elon.. what kind of sus name is that anyway. He's going to get all the Martian gold before anyone else gets up there.

>>47884637
Oh man, you don't think he isn't working on a brain chip. Dude murdered hundreds of literal monkeys trying. He gets defense contracts, he's not a good person.

Starlink is going to eventually wrap the planet in an internet grid faster than what you can imagine.

>>47857023
The be blunt paying 1000USD plus 50USD per talent for the worthless mark is idiotic, expensive as fuck and just unnecessary. Regardless if we're talking Cover, Anycolor or something the size of Sony or Coca Cola. It's just dumb.

He should've kept it cheap so people would actually buy it. By amping up the price he only turned everyone's attention to how meaningless it is to buy one. You can justify pissing away 8USD on a meaningless symbol, but thousands of dollars? Tens of thousands all talents considered? lol no. He fell into the trap of thinking everything will be some sort of Web 3 cyberpunk future like so many others, when the reality is people are getting more and more turned off and tuned out from everything of that kind. If anything, huge things like Twitter, Facebook, Google etc. are probably dinosaurs on the way out and the Internet will gradually shift back to the forum/small site paradigm. And on top of that money is running out in the economy as a whole, making my prediction even more likely.

>>47885108
>guys, I want the Star Trek future!
>okay. we have to make sacrifices to get there.
>NOOO JUST DO MAGIC WITH SCIENCE!

>>47885406
It was cheap. Corporations kept trying to dick Elon anyway, so he did this in retaliation.
He didn't buy the company to fix it. He bought it to economically SHITPOST on (You).

>>47857493
LETS GOOOO
INSULINCHADS WE JUST CANT STOP WINNING

>>47885473
Oh, and let's not forget he wanted to back out of the deal, and the same people crying blood now DEMANDED he buy it or go to jail.
It should be zero surprise he's doing this now.

>>47885473
Bottom line: I don't care. Nobody cares except maybe Americans. It makes no difference to me if twitter exists or not. This is related to stuff like >>47885431 and >>47885241 where they assume people want to have anything to do with that sorta stuff, when the fact is they're a tiny minority of lunatics. The future is analog, and that's great.

>>47885431

Same. It was no longer being used to verify in the first place. I'm actually happy Elon is letting them get screwed over, too.
For everyone screaming, "You're on the side of corporations," they sure are not noticing how badly corporations are being screwed over. They're screaming because a certain type of person with unnatural hair colors have finally gotten a taste of what "screwing the corporations over" actually means.

One thing I wonder about.
If they are making money with a professional account, wouldn't it be possible to deduct this sum of money from the generated income and get it for free?

Or are these twitter accounts only there to spam?

>>47859445
>they should bring back actual verification

Twitter hasn't had actual verification in years. They were selling verification under the table for a few thousand each. Thats how random people like some guy who wrote a magazine article 4 years ago was verified but someone relatively well known with thousands of followers would get denied. They're only throwing a fit about it because its not special anymore and anyone can afford one now.

>>47903213

The weirdos who had the check thought it was a status symbol. If you knew anything about Twitter's old system, you'd know it was a complete and total clusterfuck that was more about who you knew in the business than anything about authenticity or dumb shit like that. Most Holos have never had blue checkmarks anyway and no one cared but tons of nobodies had it because they had connections in the business. It was weirdos like Kiara who saw it as a status symbol.

I think the whole idea of the system for individuals is a little silly anyway because what are you actually verifying at a certain point, it's not your identity since accounts could always be anonymous and most people's official accounts are some PR person or other fake shit. The only valuable verifications (which only exist on the new system) are for organizations and governments and so on. And now Hololive has a choice where they can decide at any time to become an organization and link all their accounts at once and get them all verified (they couldn't get most of them verified under the old system) but it's up to them to decide if that's financially worth it or not.

>>47857044

>>47857132
Shut your face, you fucking shitbag.

>>47917961
Twitter got in hot water at the start because of celebrity impersonations. So they introduced that system to avoid getting sued. Obviously, it's not supposed to be a status symbol. People like Obama or the Pope don't need that shit anyway.
The issue is retards idiots using it like it's their secret club badge, from B-tier internet "influencers" during the old management days, to the retards nowadays Musk is trying to rip off.

>>47873496
No you stupid cunt, I'm saying his business model revolves around them. He's slitting his own throat because he's trying to nickel and dime everything.

>>47898805
Terrible economic and social policies that require a liberal federal government to prop them up.

>>47918617
The thing about people like Obama and the Pope is they wouldn't be getting blue checkmarks. They fall under government and official organizations, which should be a separate system to exactly avoid the status symbol aspect of politics and companies that verify their associates. The sort of oldschool celebrity that twitter verification was supposed to be for is someone like Katy Perry but she just uses it to post ads. Someone like that should have to pay for a checkmark because there's no evidence there's a real person behind the account.

>>47918650
Retards like Keffals bought the verification for $15k so it was meaningless, and the only people seething about it are the losers that paid for it.

>>47857044
