  do advertisers know that their money is going to the pockets of nazis and other far right wingers engaging ideological hate politics? i imagine tucker carlsons and matt walshs payout was not insubstantial

  Taylor Lorenz thinks that the money paid to creators on Twitter should go to struggling news rooms instead [image]

  @alx The real bribe is WaPo paying her for “journalism”

  Former Twitter executive: “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.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

  So let me get this straight Left-Leaning accounts: -Refuse to pay for Twitter Blue -Complain about how awful Twitter is -Leave for Meta's clone app And now Queen Hall Monitor of Twitter 1.0, Taylor Lorenz is complaining in WaPo that more Left Wing accounts aren't being paid? [ima…

  One former Twitter executive who worked on creator partnerships said that, “any kind of content monetization we've done in the past was based on a revenue model. This feels pulled out of thin air for a specific subset of creators that he wanted to placate” https://www.washingtonp…

• @wallstreetsilv @wallstreetsilv on x

  All of those liberals with huge accounts who refused to pay $8 for Twitter Blue are looking silly now. The payouts for Twitter creators are insane. $5,000 to $20,000 for many. 🤣 [image]

• @atrupar Aaron Rupar on x

  so Twitter has a new system to make handsome payments to “creators,” but there's no open application process and the biggest beneficiaries just happen to be Elon fluffers. Sounds legit. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

  Elon says only verified users give you twitter ad share payout 🤯 [image]

• @taylorlorenz @taylorlorenz on x

  One notable content creator who hasn't been posting about being part of Musk's new monetization scheme is Chaya Raichik. Was Chaya left out of Musk's first group of influencers? She wouldn't confirm. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

• @wholemarsblog @wholemarsblog on x

  Another great example of how the media lies to you by twisting the facts. If you read this, you'd think they were going out of their way to pay “right wing” people instead of just sharing ad revenue with all elegible creators irrespective of their views. [image]

• @stclairashley Ashley St. Clair on x

  The irony of Taylor Lorenz complaining about a “billionaire burning money” by compensating creators when the dude who owns the outlet she works for is a billionaire who owns a $500 million yacht

• @kimdotcom Kim Dotcom on x

  This is a test to optimize the Twitter payout algorithm. Please reply to this tweet and tell me which brands your would like to see advertised under my tweets and feel free to tag their Twitter accounts 💰💰💰 Name as many as you want 🤣

• @elonmusk Elon Musk on x

  @stevenmarkryan It's not exactly per impression. What matters is how many ads were shown to other verified users. Only verified users count, as it is otherwise trivial to game the system with bots.

  Wow - thanks Twitter. Over 1.2 billion 🥳 [image]

  “He's censoring speech that he doesn't like and amplifying speech that he does and he's picking the people that he wants to have a voice on the platform and silencing others,” Rathbone DeBuys, a content creator in New Orleans, who monetizes on TikTok https://www.washingtonpost.co…

  The highest payout for Twitter's ad revenue sharing so far is over $100K [image]

• @shark3ozero @shark3ozero on x

  the fact that there's going to be a huge uptick in people making vile ragebait posts for a Twitter payout makes me really reconsider replying or quote tweeting a blue user ever again

  Creator Ads Revenue Sharing

• @twitter @twitter on x

  Surprise! Today we launched our Creator Ads Revenue Sharing program. We're expanding our creator monetization offering to include ads revenue sharing for creators. This means that creators can get a share in ad revenue, starting in the replies to their posts. This is part of our.…

  FULL TRANSPARENCY Minutes after Twitter announced ad revenue payouts, I received this saying I'll be paid $7,153 For reference, I had 328 million tweet impressions in the last 28 days These are awesome payout numbers & I encourage every single creator to share their content... [i…

• @pt Parker on x

  Twitter rev shares will incentivize engagement-farmers to hit 5M impressions so they can get paid. And those payments will come from subscriptions by boring people paying for placement in the replies Twitter is slowly transitioning from social network to paid content farm.

• @pt Parker on x

  Another case of Twitter leadership cargo-culting features w/o understanding context. The best creators will go where the audience is bc that maximizes overall income & rev shares make that sticky.

• @lindayacc Linda Yaccarino on x

  It makes a lot of cents to create here! 💰

• @mattnavarra Matt Navarra on x

  My Twitter account generated 61 million impressions since Feb 3rd, 2023. My Stripe account is ready and waiting for my ad revenue share, Elon.

• @dc_draino @dc_draino on x

  In the interest of transparency, I'm posting what Twitter is paying me for the ad revenue split This is a nice turnaround from being banned by Twitter 1.0 for almost 2 years to now being paid to post Thank you @elonmusk for spending $44B to save free speech in America [image]

• @jason @jason on x

  WTF @TWITTER?! YOURE PAYING ME $50,000 A YEAR TO TWEET? [image]

• @rmac18 @rmac18 on x

• @shl Sahil Lavingia on x

  What if Tweeting got you equity in Twitter, and that equity entitled you to dividends? 🤔

• @taylorlorenz @taylorlorenz on x

  @Jason No, because YouTube is transparent with its policies and onboards everyone who meets clear and transparent metrics. Haven't seen that yet from Twitter! I'm curious though, given Twitter's struggles to retain ad revenue, how sustainable u think this program will be for crea…

• @levie Aaron Levie on x

  Wait, we could have been paid to be tweeting all this time?

• @ianzelbo Ian Zelbo on x

  I'm at 100,000,000 + impressions since February and haven't received an email from Twitter about ad revenue... :/

• @paleofuture Matt Novak on x

  Benny's “I would typically never share personal financial info” raises a rather obvious question: Is Twitter giving these people an additional incentive to share these dollar figures with their followers today? [image]

• @karlbode Karl Bode on x

  it truly is the golden era for worthless bullshit

• @gergelyorosz Gergely Orosz on x

  This is a smart move from Twitter. Rolled out to select group at first (I'm not in that group) This will be a differentiator amongst social media networks, as only YouTube has a similar ads revenue share approach (though it is even more explicit there, how it works)

• @tomwarren Tom Warren on x

  Twitter is starting to share a portion of ad revenue with creators. This has long been promised, so it'll be interesting to see what the cut of revenues are actually like [image]

• @eve6 @eve6 on x

  We live in a world where writers are facing financial precarity on the picket lines in an upward battle for fair pay and this guy gets a 25k check for tweeting stuff like “i think both sides have a point”

• @jason @jason on x

  @TaylorLorenz I think you mean revenue sharing, like YouTube does.

• @bobsaietta Robert Silverman on x

  Paying far right freaks, scammers, and blithering idiots to post. I'm sure advertisers are thrilled 🙄 [image]

• @edzitron Ed Zitron on x

  Twitter Blue made $11m in 3 months and apparently they're paying out $5m to creators cumulatively from February. Elon Musk is the business genius. This is his masterwork https://techcrunch.com/... [image]

• @mattbinder Matt Binder on x

  on Twitter, Mr. Beast is worth just the same as one (1) Krassenstein [image]

• @jason @jason on x

  The ability to grow an audience, build a brand, AND make money at the same time is what drove YouTube to millions of creators & billions of users — twitter will do the same this decade. Who will be twitter's equivalent of MrBeast?

• @jake_k Jake Kastrenakes on x

  one thing about creators is that they love surprises and uncertainty regarding their paychecks

• @huegolden @huegolden on x

  Translation: if a blue check tweet has a lot of engagement, they will get paid for that! Do not dunk on them in the quotes. Take a screenshot, block the “creator” and make any comments you like from your own page. Please share 🙂

• @josephpolitano @josephpolitano on x

  Considering Jason is a massive account and incredibly prolific Tweeter and he only made $840 a month from his share of Twitter ads ($4,200 is cumulative since Feb, not monthly as he thinks), it is going to be extremely difficult to make a living on this program

• @dexerto @dexerto on x

  Biggest payout for Twitter's Ad Revenue Sharing seen so far is over $100,000 [image]

• @levelsio @levelsio on x

  Also just got this $3,899 from Twitter ad revenue No idea for what time period it is though, a month or a few months? Thanks @elonmusk [image]

• @pitdesi @pitdesi on x

  Twitter paid out 5 mos of earnings to folks they like with large followings. I think Jason's earnings are ~$10k/yr not $50k. Competition is great for consumers! (I think this is possibly a response to Threads)

• @taylorlorenz @taylorlorenz on x

  Musk resorting to essentially bribing big accts to stay on Twitter

• @mosquitocapital @mosquitocapital on x

  GREAT move by Twitter. Love it. Some questions about the incentive structure (especially re: ragebait) but at first glance this is a massively good idea, and it feels good to finally not have to pick apart all the ways something they're doing is terrible https://techcrunch.com/..…
