I don’t pay for Twitter Blue and my understanding is they only get payouts for views from other Twitter Blue users like a CHUD minded MLM

I mean there’s other reasons to not do a Twitter I just don’t think this specific reason pans out for us unverified

I can't imagine him stiffing the biggest bunch of loudmouths on the platform but then elon is definitely not a smart man.

More likely he is only paying a select group of loudmouths and it will have an amplifying effect with people thinking they can get these kind of creator payouts. But only a very select few will ever get them regardless of engagement.

I meant more that the values themselves were pulled out of thin air. It really looks like Elon is just paying people to post while making it look like they're just getting a cut.

Yeah there's no way Twitter is on top that poo poo in any real way. Numbers right out of muskys rear end. Try to find one payout going to someone who isn't a sycophant.

The funniest part about these (completely artificial and made-up chud handouts) is how much less Tim loving Pool gets than all the other chuds. He gets less than some random account called "end wokeness". He's only worth 2/5ths of an Ant Man, and less than 1/3rd of a Romanian sex offender. He's a full time grifter and self-promoter, and he gets less than $6k? lol

Especially funny when just a couple of days ago Elon was trying to tell Mr. Beast to post on Twitter where he'd totally make more than his YouTube millions. Any actual "I get paid for content creation" person out there is going to look at these payouts and just lol.

What's going to be fun now is over the next few days/weeks is watching all the other blue ticks who didn't get paid whine incessantly about not getting paid. Or, even funnier, is if the payment program actually does give a fair cut of ad revenue (it won't though) and they all get payments of literal pennies. The meltdowns we'd see if someone gets 37 cents in cold hard cash for their months of blue tick fueled chudposting.

Please, Mr. Elon, pay all your blue ticks a fair share. Comedy demands it.

It's toe-tapping-ly tragic!

What makes an account earn money? User seconds or whatever the gently caress he said?

Makes me think of how Vulfpeck gamed Spotify years ago with their Sleepify album, telling people to play it on repeat while they slept so they earned money. Can I make a tweet and use a browser refresh extension to pump up the views and get paid?

That's loving hilarious. This is going to turn into a chud dick-measuring contest and there will be tears.

I looked this one up (already blocked, like all blue ticks), and all they do is post stolen memes and make bland posts similar to Elon. It's a banter void. Somehow they have 2 million followers. Pretty sure they must run some kind of botfarm, either for followers or retweets, and I wouldn't be surprised if the payout was based upon how many blue ticks they bought, payment going to the main account.
