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.
