On December 14, a new feature was introduced to YWS: account verification! A solution to a problem no one even thought of, this promised the ability to verify your account. After filling out a verification form that asked you, among other things, "Do you normally," with the responses, "Yes" and "Placeholder text for No," members were able to verify their accounts.

Only, that's not what happened...

Kelly Clarkson (originally posted under another name I now forget) is the first to get verified:


The Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris, then got herself verified:


Not too far away was the President of the United States, Joe Biden!


Celebrities were spotted:










The biggest celeb spotting of course was:


Wait, Jeff Bezos uses YWS?


And he accused Samsung of being the Borg?


Why is Scotland apologizing?


Ultimately, I knew there was a problem when this happened:


Anyways, it's over now and I hope everyone had a bit of fun! For more information, see:
