I wonder if this is because many people on Twitter just automatically block anyone with a blue checkmark (paid) when they see a response and the trolls have their feelings hurt so they run to Musk shouting about how they paid to be heard so he should force people to unblock them. That's the kind of childish argument I would expect.
I block most people with blue checkmarks. Why does Musk want to make twitter even worse than it already is?
I know some people I follow go though their replies hiding all blue ticks which is hilarious. I've started muting anyone with a blue ticks who is also insufferably right leaning or an Elon bro. If enough people are doing it it's definitely having an effect.
