Ethos rhetoric. I cannot attack your arguments so I will attack your character.

It seems novel because the peanut gallery seldom has any power over the intelligentsia this side of a revolution but on Twitter, nobody knows you're a dog unless you have a blue check mark.

I would go as far as to say that checkmark is the problem: Jack Dorsey created a caste system in a place where it can really only do harm.
