Isn’t this, like, on purpose? Controversy and hate drive engagement, and since Elon “you’re a pedo cuck” Musk doesn’t give a shit about discussion quality or morality issues, it’s pretty obvious why he’s gone for that.
I wonder what advertisers think though, and whether they’re ok with sharing their advertising budget this way. Just from a public image point of view alone it might be a problem for some, if not most large companies.
It doesn’t share anything about advertisers budgets?
Their ads are going to appear in these discussions though, right? And it’s easy enough to screenshot. So I’d guess we’ll see a lot more of “hey BrandX, see, you’re sponsoring racism/sexism/genocide apology/etc.” discussions going forward.
Yep, in sure those brands are thrilled that the money they give to Twitter goes to people like Andrew Tate.
Elon knows who supports him and who hates him.
Gotta enrich others like himself, ya know, people who want to own slaves.
Twitter is dead.
“Far right” people seem to be getting paid first because more of them paid for twitter blue, which is needed for the payouts. The “far left” are too busy crying (on twitter) that they lost their check mark and that they’re leaving.
“Far left” people like Brian krassenstein got paid BIG: https://twitter.com/krassenstein/status/1679586542929453061?s=46&t=Cbb3biYQblpmbWC3J0KfQg
Biggest payout I’ve seen of anyone on there so far.
Idk, I’ve seen a couple of 70k+ payouts mentioned by far-right personalities in the other thread. But the checkmark thing probably adds to the overall effect
Geez that’s some payout!
The check mark is the main reason. The “far left” people aren’t paying for twitter blue so they don’t get any ad revenue share. Those that do pay are getting paid.
Then you’ve got idiots like Taylor Lorenz saying that musk is now bribing people to stay on twitter despite this being announced months ago.
