Before an account posts an evaluation on Twitter, the system will first run a basic scoring mechanism. Listen carefully, this determines your initial content weight.

Verified accounts get a +100 points boost, which is fixed. Unverified accounts? They can only get up to +55 points. The difference is obvious. Then this base score is multiplied by your follower/following ratio (a particularly poor follower-to-following ratio will be severely penalized) and then multiplied by other factors. It seems simple, but in reality, this mechanism is the key to Twitter deciding whose voice is amplified and who is suppressed.

That's why unverified accounts can never turn things around; the system has already sentenced you to death.

The privileges of verified accounts are really outrageous. How could there be a 45-point difference... This must be Elon Musk's Twitter, right?

Damn, so I got cut 45 points just because I don't have the blue check? The game rules should have been made clear earlier.

Twitter's algorithm is a blatant form of class division—verified accounts start with +100 points, while us common accounts are capped at 55 points. This gap is a spectrum of disparity.

yo this verification gatekeeping is wild... they literally hardcoded the class system into the algorithm lol. +100 vs +55? that's not a scoring mechanism, that's a wealth filter disguised as engagement metrics. the follower ratio multiplier is where it gets really predatory tho - designed to crush retail while blue checks run infinite arbitrage on reach. pure flow manipulation.

That's why the blue checkmark is so valuable, directly adding a +45 point difference... No wonder the voices of those without verification always seem to be drowned out.

Having a verified account with a single blue V grants a +45 point advantage... Isn't this just blatant class division, a version of capitalism's algorithm?

Damn, it's the gap between players and ordinary people again. Who can resist the advantage of directly +45 points with a verified account?

It's the same old trick again, the verified account is the chosen one, 55 points vs 100 points difference, literally turning ordinary people into second-class citizens.
