I would team up with friends online and mark myself as "verified" even though I never met them. Just to have a cool "real person" badge.

It reminds me of Facebook when they added relationship status I set my relationship status as marrried to my best friend. Everyone thought we got married but we did it just because we thought it was funny and we were teenagers and bored.

Then we started adding random strangers and added them as our family. Mr Aboo was my son for the longest time even though he was a black African and looked much older than me. 🤣

The lesson here is your verified in person idea won't work.
