Because previously you had to be blessed to get a bluecheck, now you just have to pay. Way more people have the means to pay than were blessed.

But the "blessed" keep their unique status with the "secondary tag." Everybody knows that's the checkmark.

If you look at any politician account they now have a small flag and "official" below their name. 2 tiers have become 3.
