Twitter users confused as Verified Check merges Legacy and Twitter Blue descriptions
The change was supposed to take effect on April 1, but as the clock rolled over to April 2, Legacy Verified users noticed they still had their checkmarks.
Are you Twitter Blue or Legacy Verified?
This has left Twitter users feeling a mix of emotions. Some are confused as they expected their checkmark to be removed, while others are frustrated by the ambiguity of the new descriptions.

YouTuber Eddy Buback fell into the later category, writing, “Oh god, this is way worse than taking the checkmark. I did not pay Elon. I would rather die.”

While the wording by itself makes Blue subs and legacy accounts indistinguishable, actual Legacy Verified accounts will be followed by the Twitter Verified account.
