Verification scams are rampant on social media. What if that’s because the whole system is broken?

This all shows how easily major social, search & music platforms can be exploited to create fake personas and earn big money, and pulls back the curtain on the thriving black market in verification services and account takedowns for hire. Here’s how it worked, and who ran it.

![But just because the link between status and culture is gone doesn’t mean we’ve eliminated those three realms that Marx refers to — socioeconomic competition, cultural formation, and internecine battles. Instead, we’ve just replaced all of it with a link between status and fandom, which now accomplishes the same thing. In a world where you can read, watch, or listen to anything, the act of consumption isn’t impressive. So now we reward each other for consuming the meta-text — the memes, the hashtags, the community drama, and the conspiracy theories.](data:image/svg+xml,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="745" height="242"><rect fill-opacity="0"/></svg>)
