AFAIK it's a "parody" account, right? It's verified though so what's the point of verification on Threads?

Katie Notopoulos is a senior technology reporter for BuzzFeed News, so I assume that verification carried over from her Instagram account

That's...not something Buzzfeed should be caught dead saying, either, though. You're supposed to give your real name, but it makes way more sense for this to be a parody rather than someone who's about to be called into the office tomorrow. Not that either of those options make this more fun to read.

I don't know anything about Threads, but I'm guessing money gets you verified over there.
