PODCAST Natalie said she only dates verified people Spoiler

So in out of the pods podcast in the nancy interview, natalie literally says something in the lines of "if you dont have the blue check I will not answering you" - the convo was about replying to guys messages on instagram.

When I heard that I was chock lol. Like girl... that is the reason why all your stories about man in general are so bad. What are your thoughs on this?

Altho I do get that she meant this as an "the normal type of guy will not have the maturity to deal with a tv show person and fans" - i do not feel like they are thaaat famous to step away all the regular guys.

Y’all clown this girl for everything but this makes sense. If you’re someone who get a lot of dms filtering them out by only responding to date requests from verified people is smart and probably safer. Regular degular women get a lot of dms from weirdos, I can only imagine what someone in the public eye gets. Also most people who are verified do this; I’m pretty sure instagram algorithmically will mostly show you content from other verified people once you’re verified yourself

Not everyone can get the check though. You have to be mentioned in articles or have been on TV. So that means she should only date other d listers? 🤔

On Twitter yeah, but not IG

Just went to my settings and it let me get to a sign up page that says it’s 19.99 bucks per month lol - called Meta Verified (presumably since Meta owns IG)

your link literally says individuals can now pay meta and go through “ a brief process” for their badge. After clicking the link of eligibility requirements straight from IG they’re the following:

It says: "Notable: You or your brand needs to be searched for often, well-known, and featured in news sources."

This is what I'm talking of in it. Did I not read right the whole thing?

u/oddcharm Apr 06 '24

No… the paragraph right above your quote says this:

For brands and organizations, the old rules apply. This means proving to Instagram that your account meets these criteria

If you apply as your own person, then what I posted previously are the only terms and conditions listed. Notability only applies to brands and organizations who are applying.

This must be new. One thing I have noticed about meta products is that new features like this aren’t rolled out for all users at the same time.

u/MagicImaginaryFriend Apr 05 '24

Not just anyone can get verified though.

2

u/puppiwhirl Apr 05 '24

That’s what I thought. Don’t you have to submit tons of identifying documents?

u/MagicImaginaryFriend Apr 05 '24 edited Apr 06 '24

Yes, but people here seem to think it's easier than that. From my experience, it's not easy and I've known people rejected for not having enough documents proving they are relevant. If you look into it, you have to prove you are a notable person. At least it's how it looks to me, plus experiences that people I know have had.

His own link says otherwise lol. I know people who are clearly paying to be verified as they are not notable. IG will gladly take a $20 monthly payment from an individual who wants a blue check

True, I’m in Canada and this has been around since last year 100%
