As long as they can't be bought or paid for, I don't think it's a very bad thing.

Narrator: They could.

I don't see the problem with this...? Every social media is free to launch their own type of "verification" and their adoption would depend on the user.

The comparison to 𝕏 doesn't seem fair:
You can self-verify by setting your domain as your username. We highly encourage official organizations and individuals to do this
Additionally, through our Trusted Verifiers feature, select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

I think at this point it's pretty clear that BlueSky is in the traditional social media business instead of being in the decentralized social media business.
Maybe that's a good decision for BlueSky, they certainly seem to have the growth at the moment, but I think we probably have to forget the dreams of it ever pushing the decentralization angle again.
I think that’s only because there are few, if any, bluesky instances
If not for the lack of decentralization, they'd be more decentralized.
There is only one instance, which is the company's, because the company has not released the server software. It's completely centralized.
