Scamming rate is about skyrocket due to Elon Musk's $8 blue check verification badge to anyone that can pay.
Honestly speaking I think Elon Musk making people pay $8 to get the blue check verification badge is going to increase the rate of scamming and crime on Twitter and would deplete or reduce the value of what the blue check verification badge was meant for and stands for because before your earn the blue check verification badge but now anyone can pay for it, making it valueless to me and so many other people, who think like me and logically too.
Yes before Elon Musk initiated the $8 payment for the Blue check verification badge there were some scam accounts that had the verification badge I would not argue with that but right now whatever number it was before is going to skyrocket like never before since anyone can pay for it now, scammers would be like I can pay $8 monthly for the blue check verification badge to make myself or my account look legitimate and scam a lot of people thousands or millions of dollars, so for them is a win-win situation and for us all the normal honest people it is a lose-lose situation.
Because a lot of people can easily get scammed because of these verified scam accounts which are not fair because that makes Twitter look like the wolf's hunting ground because there are a lot of wolfs in sheep's clothing on Twitter, the blue check verification badge makes it easy for people to get scammed if they a not careful and vigilant, right now so many people on Twitter don't know who to trust and I do not blame them because they only indicator to fish out these scammers from legitimate people even though it is not a 100% accurate can now be paid for buy anybody, this Elon musk's $8 blue check verification badge payment will cause a lot of chaos in the crypto space and help a lot of scammers to look legitimate to scam others. So guys please be careful out there, a lot of scammers everywhere and Twitter would be their new perfect hunting ground.

Whenever I get a message on twitter with some crypto related message that screams SCAM, 30% of those accounts always have that blue badge and just one follower... Now, I have to be extremely careful.

It is very crazy and scary right now, those not careful will get scammed.
This is incredibly important information, and I concur with you that the $8 blue check policy will lead to an increase in scammers.
Blue check should be recognized for producing sincere content because put in a lot of effort and share accurate information.
Right now, Twitter should be used with caution because not all information is reliable. Observe and confirm the information before implementation.
You have just said it all my friend, and like I said in my post Twitter is now the perfect hunting ground for scammers.
You are very right, we should be wise
