I was under the impression that Twitter had lost most of its ad revenue, but I guess it's using whatever's left to reward some of its star content creators:
On Thursday, Twitter announced that it would begin sharing ad revenue with content creators on its platform for the first time.....The first beneficiaries appear to be high-profile far-right influencers who tweeted before the announcement how much they’ve earned as part of the program. Ian Miles Cheong, Benny Johnson and Ashley St. Claire all touted their earnings.
....So far, the influencers who have publicly revealed that they’re part of the program are prominent figures on the right. Andrew Tate, for example, who was recently released from jail on rape and human trafficking charges, posted that he’d been paid over $20,000 by Twitter.
I'm sure this is a coincidence, just like Tucker Carlson's new Twitter-based venture and the launch of Ron DeSantis's campaign on Twitter—not to mention the whole Twitter Files fiasco. In any case, the program has apparently generated some fallout because there are still some right-wing cranks who aren't getting paid and aren't happy about it.
Twitter claims that payments are based on impressions and replies, but a former executive says this is bullshit:
One former Twitter executive who worked on creator partnerships and who asked to remain unnamed to avoid retaliation, said that, “any kind of content monetization we’ve done in the past was based on a revenue model. This just feels pulled out of thin air for a specific subset of creators that he wanted to placate.”
The former Twitter executive also cast doubt on Twitter’s revamped metrics, including impressions. “The numbers are totally and completely bogus,” she said. “It’s all completely made up. It really feels like they’re arbitrarily writing checks to people they like, which is not a sustainable creator strategy.”
There you have it. Andrew Tate is getting paid and you aren't. Take that, libtards.
Not paying rent, not paying arbitration the former employees who are suing because they aren't getting paid were forced into, but he can pay an (alleged!) violent sex slaver.
Clearly lefties have no values.
And it's bad news for Joe Biden and the Democrats!
Musk has done the incredible: making Mark Zuckerberg look good.
Where are the corrupt jackasses for the left?
They never seem to be anywhere. Conservatives produce them like they're born that way.
I am totally available to be financed, yet it never happens.
Twitter, the only platform in the world that will pay Andrew Tate over Stephen King and Neil Gaiman for his writing.
Musk might seem to be losing money, but I wonder if all the criminal gangs, oppressive governments, and right wing thugs are happy to pay him off in exchange for making twitter safe for evil. We can't have citizens organizing protests on twitter anymore. We can't have journalists exposing crime and corruption on twitter either. I'm sure porn will be safe... adult and child.
"Snapchat is the go-to means to distribute drugs to children, teens, and young adults through social media..."
Musk want's a cut of that.
Whatever limited good there was on twitter is long gone.
As a reminder, put your alt social media ID in your bio before it's too late and birdsite self-destructs and no one knows where you've gone to.
you have to pay for a blue check to be eligible, so of course this makes it biased towards right wing cranks.
I suppose Musk's only shot at making Twitter a viable business is to follow the Fox News model. Be as incendiary as possible and cater to the people who thrive on that content.
at this point how can anyone justify remaining on twitter?
Working part-time, I bring in more than $13,400 every month. I made the decision to research it after hearing a lot of people talk about how much money they could make online. All of it was real, and it completely 10 altered my life. You can read this article for
