I don't do Twitter. Can someone please tell me the purpose and importance of the twitter blue checkmark? And why is it worth paying for it?

Right now, anything tweeted by an account with blue checkmark is considered "Mainstream Information" and will be taken as facts by the main stream media. Basically normies give a huge priority to what a bluecheckmark says.
If everyone is allowed to have a bluecheckmark by paying $8 a month, and probably proving your identity etc, then this class segregation in the information warfare will be defeated and there will no longer be a "mainstream information" in twitter.
Mark Dice showed today on his video that verified accounts can filter notifications so that they only see mentions and retweets from other verified accounts.
A circle within the circle.
I can't personally confirm that this us true.
I know there's mixed feeling about Dice around here... make of it what you will.

The disassembly of "Privileged Authority"
It’s to verify that a person is who they claim to be. Its purpose started out as verifying a well-known person to avoid fake accounts, but it devolved into another political weapon for the left. They verify every connected leftist with 1,000 followers, but most on the right can’t get verified despite having hundreds of thousands of followers. The left uses it as a status symbol.
A) To help verify real users; B) to remove the "haves and have-nots".
Anyone can verify themselves and pay for a blue checkmark now. There is no need to be a celebrity or well-known social figure.
Takes the power away from a certain few and opens it up to everyone who wants to pay.
Democracy in action, Tweetlon Musk style.
kind of like real white privilege?
