"Twitter Blue's Struggles: From Failed Pushes to Fake Profiles"

TL;DR Summary
Former Twitter Blue subscribers who canceled their subscriptions are still verified on the platform, despite no longer having access to the subscription's perks. The glitchiness of Twitter Blue is adding to the chaos around Elon Musk's rollout of the paid verification system. The review process that Twitter Blue accounts are subjected to is meant to prevent impersonations, which can take days. Verification is removed through a mostly manual process, and the system that powers that process is prone to breaking. Some former Twitter Blue subscribers have reached out to Twitter support for help removing their badges and Twitter Blue features with no response.
