I guess there will just be a bunch of verified accounts running around doing "organic" marketing for their latest projects now.

Boy, I am sure glad nobody has ever done that on Lemmy before.

Weren't they already doing that? I swear, you read some posts and it's like a PR team is trying to get a story buried. Like after a Leo DiCaprios dating history got air time you started seeing him in more memes the next days, and TILs about how he was a good actor

They were/are. They’re just making it official now.

Just saw a post by Bloomberg and u/Bloomberg has a little green checkmark by their name.

I mean he's quite memable and he's a great actor so not sure why both things can't happen...

They can. It's just that it happens suspiciously often after there's a surge in his negative images
