Every individual false positive does several orders of magnitude more negative than positives of "not verified" fake links.

It would be much less damaging to red flag questionable links (and remove clearly fake links as often as possible to avoid fatigue).

But how much can I charge to be verified, versus how much can I charge to not have your link flagged or removed?
