One topic that has been resonating continuously on news platforms is the ongoing Twitter drama. The microblogging platform witnessed a massive takeover through which it came under the wings of Elon Musk. Soon after the acquisition, the multi-billionaire made some dramatic changes to the platform, and these decisions were met with many frowny eyes.

Hasan Piker aka HasanAbi is one of the prominent internet celebrities who constantly calls out Musk’s decisions. Now yet again Twitter’s CEO has come under the radar of Piker after the recent checkmark update.

HasanAbi calls out Elon Musk and his decision to change the Legacy mark

When he became the CEO of Twitter, Musk made many changes. One that was shocking for the internet community was the announcement of buying legacy marks. The blue ticks, which were hard to get prior to the acquisition, all of a sudden became a premium subscription. There were masses of criticism against this move. Now, yet again, the checkmark is going through a change.

From Musk’s recent Tweet, it can be understood that from April 15, the ‘For You’ recommendations on Twitter would be reserved exclusively for verified accounts. This news caught the attention of Piker and he soon was seen commenting on the issue.

HasanAbi was mocking at the fact that from April 15, the people who would have the legacy marks would be the ones who would have paid for it. “Now the only people remaining with a blue checkmark are f**cking dorks,” stated Piker.

The removal of the legacy marks for all accounts and making it solely on the basis of premium membership is a downgraded idea in the eyes of Hasan. Moreover, this would put the verified accounts under a lot of backlashes. That is, with the absence of verified badges for prominent figures, the value of the legacy badge decreases by several folds.

HasanAbi added that he uses Twitter as a means for sourcing news. But he feels that the ‘for you’ section of the platform has been filled with ‘extreme right wing’ posts recently. He finds these to be annoying. He continues to state that the ‘for you’ page on other platforms like TikTok has content that actually matches his taste. But Twitter portrays quite the opposite attitude. That is, he states that the Twitter recommendations are filled with stuff he does not want to see.

Thus making the ‘for you’ section a dedicated space for people who pay for the badge complexes the situation, according to him.
