You! Yes, You Can Become Twitter Verified (Even If You Tweet About Your Cat's Existential Dread)
Let's face it, the blue checkmark on Twitter is the ultimate status symbol. It's like a participation trophy for the internet olympics of clout. Except, unlike a participation trophy, it actually means something... maybe. Well, it used to mean something. But fear not, dear reader, because in this age of algorithmic anarchy, even your meme-loving cat account can snag that coveted blue badge.

Gone are the Days of the Chosen Few (Well, Sort Of)
Remember when getting verified was like trying to get into an exclusive club with bouncers named "Relevance" and "Newsworthiness"? Those days are dead and buried next to Vine (RIP). Now, it's all about that sweet, sweet Twitter Blue subscription. Yes, you gotta pay to play, folks. But hey, at least you get fancy editing tools and the ability to undo embarrassing typos (looking at you, Elon).
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.![]()
But Wait, There's More! (As Seen on Every Late-Night Advertisement Ever)
Just plunking down your hard-earned cash for Twitter Blue isn't enough. Twitter still wants to make sure you're not a rogue bot programmed to spew nonsense. So, you gotta be relevant, notable, and active. Basically, convince them you're a real human who occasionally showers and doesn't spend all day yelling into the void (although, some verified accounts would have you believe otherwise).
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.![]()
Here's how to trick the Twitter overlords into thinking you're worthy (or at least get them to not actively scoff at your application):
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.![]()
- Be Beyonce (or at least pretend to be). This one's pretty self-explanatory. If you're a global superstar with millions of followers, then congratulations! You're basically guaranteed a blue badge.
- Become a Local Legend (Even if Your Local Area is the size of a Rhode Island Donut). Maybe you're the mayor of your tiny town or the fry cook at the diner everyone loves. If you've got a loyal following and contribute to your community (online or off), then toot your own horn! Let Twitter know you're a big fish in a small pond.
- Master the Art of the Tweetstorm. Long gone are the days of the 140-character limit. Craft epic threads that make people laugh, cry, or question the very fabric of reality. Just remember, quality over quantity. Unless your "quality" is an endless barrage of cat memes, then by all means, unleash the feline fury.
Remember: Getting verified is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep your profile active, engaging, and (somewhat) respectable, and eventually, that blue badge will be yours. Or, you know, you could just buy a bunch of followers and hope Twitter doesn't notice. But where's the fun in that?
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.![]()
Just be warned, with great verification comes great responsibility. The internet trolls will come for you, the pressure to constantly produce quotable content will be immense, and your cat might develop a superiority complex. But hey, at least you'll have that fancy blue checkmark to distract you from the existential dread.
