When Manifold first offers a subscription service where users can pay a monthly USD amount for mana and other benefits, will the initial package include a "verified" or "trustworthy ish" or similar badge? Will it be like 2023-01-01 Twitter Blue in this respect?

Actual text not important, but it must be displayed next to user names, not only on the profile page.

what if the badge said "supporter", "sponsor", or "sub"?

I don't think paying money makes one trustworthy. Unless there's some kind of terribly overcomplicated escrow or real money penalty or something. No, better to consider these things orthogonal.

@Sinclair that would resolve the market yes, "actual text not important".

Paying money means that if the account is banned for spam or other violations of terms then there is a financial penalty of losing the money paid. For fiat money there's also a link to a real life identity.

Not great but also not nothing. This becomes more important as AI gets better at imitating humans.

bought Ṁ100 of YES

ah I failed to read >.<

@Sinclair Relatable. Also, it says "actual text not important," but what about the badge? Must it actually have a check? What if it has two lines going across it or something?
