On April 27, 2023, tennis star Coco Gauff tweeted about her recent login into Twitter, stating that she had realized her blue verification checkmark was gone. Gauff, who is just 19 years old, is one of the most promising young athletes in the world and has been known to use social media platforms like Twitter to connect with fans and share her experiences. However, in her recent tweet, Gauff expressed her indifference towards the loss of her blue checkmark, suggesting that the status symbol meant little to her.
She further stated that she did not even pay for her Netflix subscription, so why would she pay for a badge of online status that essentially means nothing. She wrote, “First time logging into Twitter in a couple weeks… realized my blue check is gone. Ya’ll can have that. I don’t even pay for my Netflix subscription, so why does the bird app think I’m gonna pay for a badge of online status that essentially means nothing? This is funny.”
This tweet by Gauff highlights the debate surrounding the significance of the blue checkmark on Twitter. While the blue checkmark initially served as a way to verify the authenticity of public figures and celebrities on the platform, it has since become a status symbol for many users. However, the significance of the blue checkmark has been called into question in recent years, with some arguing that it does not necessarily indicate credibility or importance. In fact, there have been instances of fake accounts being verified with the blue checkmark, leading to confusion and mistrust among users.
Despite this, many users still strive to obtain the blue checkmark as a way to establish their online status and credibility. For some, it may even lead to career opportunities and partnerships with brands. Gauff’s tweet suggests that she does not see the value in this status symbol, and instead chooses to focus on her tennis career and connecting with her fans on a more personal level. This approach aligns with her overall persona, as she has been praised for her down-to-earth and humble demeanor, despite her impressive accomplishments on the court.

Coco Gauff tweeted about her lost blue verification checkmark on Twitter. While many fans were supportive of her statement, others had mixed reactions. One Twitter user responded, “Why would you proudly declare that you don’t pay for your Netflix subscription?? ? So not only an elitist, but one with a moral obligation to announce you’re not paying for Twitter blue? Not cool Coco, not cool.”
This comment sparked a discussion among Twitter users, with some criticizing Gauff for being elitist and others defending her right to not pay for a blue checkmark on the platform. However, the conversation took a lighthearted turn when the official US Open Twitter account joined in on the fun. The US Open account commented, “you can’t keep using our Netflix login,” poking fun at Gauff’s statement about not paying for her Netflix subscription. Gauff responded with a crying emoji, pleading with the US Open not to revoke her access to their account.
One fan summed up the sentiment by stating, “You don’t need a blue checkmark,” highlighting the fact that Gauff’s talent and achievements speak for themselves. While the blue checkmark may hold significance for some, it ultimately does not define one’s worth or success.
Overall, the exchange on Twitter serves as a reminder of the power of social media to connect individuals and create lighthearted moments of humor and banter. While opinions may differ, it is important to maintain a sense of humor and perspective, especially in the fast-paced world of social media.
