well this sucks, and we are now going to see a massive increase in fake "verified" profiles, no doubt they wanted to hide them because it's become blatantly fucking obvious they'd verify a fucking kangaroo if that's what was submitted, and add to that all the fake profiles they are creating to cream in the pvt gallery money from, which they are constantly getting accused of and called out for here, they are circling the wagons and just making sure we can't prove it.;
There's also been a few verification photos that have looked seriously fucking suspect in relation to working by choice or not, and having those hidden is in their best interests because they are not checking fuck all, as suggested, it's probably all fucking automatic to become "verified" (wonder if a fees involved or planned lol)
