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"?

Reply · Dec 17, 2022@DvnnyyPhantom @BasedMaterialsm @sreekotay and @nickblack should all have way more followers, so any of them?Reply · Apr 26, 2023hmm perhaps some of the big tpot accounts who showed up to claim their name and then never posted and yet have 1K+ followers already?Reply · Apr 3, 2023@10x_er lol sadly I know this is not true because I ran my API analysis and you are not showing up w the 69 legacy verifieds I followReply · Feb 1, 2023@rageflowerrr @skooookum elon locked his acct temporarily bec ppl have been saying locked account tweets get much higher priority in followers feeds
