Understood. That’s indeed what I interpreted. But then as a user, what’s my alternative to get a « verified » badge? Especially if I paid a fee sats to get nip-05 « verified » (I am not speaking for myself 😅). People tend to want to reproduce what they know from other platforms and what the majority of the pack also has. I don’t really have an opinion, nor an attachment to the badge, I just wonder how users might react.

How about Damus Not a Bot verification? Find a way to verify who isn’t a bot, give user a badge in completion. You could make it one time and expensive payment, for example 20-50k sats or tier payment system with different color badges (dev support purple badge). This way we would have some new type of verification and you would get extra income.
