ok decided to run some stats... of my moots w 3K+ followers, 11 are verified vs 193 aren't (of which 9 are locked) my For You gonna be pretty desolate lol
for accounts I follow who (sadly!) don't follow me, of those w 3K+ followers, 57 are verified and 172 aren't (of which 3 are locked) so, in total it's gonna be 68 big-ish accounts remaining vs 365 filtered out of For You
the full list of 3K+ follower bluecels I follow:
looking deeper it seems these are legacy bluechecks not the paid subscribers because none of my sub-3K follower accounts are showing up as verified... I'm going by the "verified" field in the v2 User API - I don't see a separate field for blue or is it an "undocumented feature"?
