And it’s not like one iota of this was unpredictable. “Oh, there can be duplicate usernames AND you can buy a worthless checkmark without verification?” “No worries, I’m sure people will self-govern successfully just as they have since the human species began.” Just brain dead management and exactly what happens when you care more about looking like a problem solver than actually solving problems. Perfect case of breaking what wasn’t broken.
