/*
 * INSTRUCTIONS
 *
 * - Install a userscript browser extension
 *     (I used ViolentMonkey https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/violentmonkey/jinjaccalgkegednnccohejagnlnfdag,
 *     but you can use any extension you want, such as tampermonkey, it should work fine)
 *     FIREFOX USERS: It seems to work better with TamperMonkey: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/tampermonkey/
 * - Import the script
 *     On ViolentMonkey, click on the extension icon, then gear icon (Open dashboard)
 *     There should be a plus icon on the top left hand corner, click on it and select Install from URL
 *     Use this URL: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/busybox11/53c76f57a577a47a19fab649a76f18e3/raw/twitterblue-nerd.js
 * It should now work and update by itself
 *
 */

/*
 * DISCLAIMER
 *
 * I made this in a rush because of a challenge I convinced myself to do in reply to a tweet:
 * https://twitter.com/Quinten0508/status/1590464705822224384?s=20&t=R_KhoR4a-_3fI4n4mbmmGA
 * It might have horrible performance and it could not be reliable as I've tested this very quickly
 * on some places I could find Twitter blue checkmarks, but I haven't made much research on it.
 * At least it runs fine on my Ryzen 9 5900HS laptop and I don't see any noticeable frame drops
 * on my 165Hz QHD display since I made this script, which might be a sign it's not impacting much.
 * (I don't care anyway, fell free to modify it if it isn't)
 *

@lewisje I thought about this and actually have a working PoC, but I am kind of concerned with the legal implications of doing this. Maybe they will make their way to this script - maybe.

@ErykDarnowski Hey! That is half-intended behavior. Twitter doesn't return the same properties everywhere, and unfortunately, the Blue verified status isn't always present - this is an example of it. I will take another look at it as soon as I have some time, but AFAIK it isn't possible now - at least easily. This script will always prioritiize Nerd status anyways.
Thank you for the report :)

@busybox11
Ahh! I see, I should've dug a bit deeper 😅

However I'm not sure if always priotitizing the Nerd badge is best (like this case shows) 🤔 Then again, for instance showing it only on profile pages isn't good either...

Maybe checking where on the page the profile element shows up would be a solution? But that would get messy quickly!
Ahhh it's a complicated issue for sure :P
