He will end up "compromising".

You can block people, but only people without blue check marks.

Wanna harass someone, wanna be a troll, subscribe to Twitter blue and you can't be blocked...

Aren't there different twitter tiers, too? Like, blue and gold? I wonder if you'll only be allowed to block people in your tier and below, so that unpaid accounts can't block anybody

IIRC the gold checkmarks are reserved for big corporate accounts that want it, and Twitter demands $1000/mo for that. Incredible.
