Twitter made a great job with the paid blue check. It's so much easier now to detect an idiot just by looking if they have a paid blue check. In Reddit it will be the same. If someone joins a paid sub, you can already say they are an idiot.

Why do you think these people are idiots? I believe Twitter promotes content posted by paid users. Last time I was on Twitter (about a year ago), they were planing to exclude regular users from the "smart" feed. Plus, people could write longer posts instead of threads. Unlike with reddit gold, I see real benefits for content creators.

Personal experience. Every time I see an extremely stupid tweet, it comes from a blue check.
