embrace twitter as a community platform during<em> The Hobbit<\/em> years, ultimately helping #VoteBilbo win an <a

Award<\/a>. Twitter became the default social network for many fans over the years, including the most recent focus on (and disagreements over) <em>The Rings of Power<\/em>. Billionaire Elon Musk bought the website in 2022 and spent the first 6 months downsizing the company and free features, making blue-check verification pay-to-play instead of on merit. Many celebrities deal with imposters on social media, tricking fans into giving money to fake accounts. It is generally expected that with the removal of &#8220;fame&#8221; verification, there will be more copycat accounts showing up. As Gandalf would tell us, &#8216;Be on your guard!&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hey y\u2019all  , I\u2019ll loose the blue tick on Saturday <br>I\u2019m opposed to spending money on social media . <br>I\u2019ll go checkless . <br>Please be careful of <br>Imposters &amp; money soliciting scams .
