Fun Fact: The average Twitter X user doesn't get 5M tweet impressions consistently - the requirement to be able to be accepted in their ad-sharing program, so no they aren`t paying you in a sense, it's just an effort to keep those large accounts from migrating away.
@@aok2075but you can still use twitter like you did before without Twitter Blue. So I guess they took nothing from you and it's your choice to join twitter blue. Like it's good that twitter is now sharing the revenue.
I love when people boil down business decisions into "yeah so the company only made this move to keep their userbase and/or revenue" 😱😱 ok? is it working? how does it compare to other platforms? is it inherently stupid to try and retain large users now lol

just gotta say I've come to really look forward to these videos. Most YTers turned podcasters are just not interesting enough for me but you guys consistently kill it.
The outro music is just one of the most classy while funky things on youtube. The cherry on top. So fitting with the whole Waveform thing, with Marques and you guys.
Nope, nothing on Twitter has ads for me, nor any other platform or website anywhere on the internet. That's a thing of the past for me. The wonders of an independently made, and completely effective ad-blocker.
The more i hear about this side of twitter the less interest i have in twitter. Like feeding me monetized trash content. I've very little interest in hearing that. Honestly I hate that. ideally i'd just have old instagram with just pictures, no ads, and seeing the people i follow. I don't care about people's opinions. Ijust want pictures.
This seems to me very scammy. Give really famous people a bunch of money where no one understands the rules behind it, let them say things like "a Twitter blue subscription pays for itself", then get a whole bunch of desperate people who want to make a quick buck subscribe and pay Twitter in hope of getting paid, which they probably never will.
I've found instagram comments to be just as toxic as anywhere else. So much hate, arguing, fanboying, misinformation going around. Everytime I wonder what the comments say I have to remind myself to not check it.
This is true. Even Facebook. UA-cam is the worst lmao. Then there's Disqus 😂 it's just the Twitter is in the light so people forget that this amount of toxicity is normal for the internet.
It's a desperate way to keep the most addicted/famous accounts on the platform. The vast majority of people on Twitter don't tweet/get enough views to warrant anything from this.
@@Striker50_ for a normal company, yes, this would be an adequate answer. Considering Twitter is in free fall and this was done with next to no prep/advertising beforehand, nah, it’s desperate
@@JamesRoyceDawson Meh, the big thing is for X acquiring security on their advertising system. Once that is reliable, and X has advertisers locked in contracts, knows the terms, has cashflow, etc. They can work on a payment model for creators. Once all of the background stuff is stable, all they have to do is announce what they're paying and people will flock right back. Creators follow the money at the end of the day. And if it is one more stream to make revenue, they will go there.
@@mikec2845 are you kidding? Engagement down. Ad sales down. Stock price, half what Elon paid for it. Half the employees gone. Haven’t paid their rent on the office building or their cloud fees. It’s shocking it’s still standing, frankly.
I know I’m fairly old for the demographic, my social media interactions have dropped to barely anything. Mainly jokes and the occasional festival pic, but that’s it. I terminated my twitter account and I have no intention of getting a threads.
Twitter recently drop engagement for everyone without blue check mark. I have small accounts with 5k followers. But I use to get some traffic, sometimes some comments and ok for my views total per post with couple of k. Now it's maybe 150 views if I'm lucky and 1 like per post.
With the Threads menace and downsizing of work force at Twitter, this sounds like: "Let's implement this right now to generate interest and traffic, we'll deal with the information transparency later"...
Right so if Twitter Blue pays for itself, then why are they charging users at all? Seems like the ad revenue does well enough that everyone should be monetized for free, lol. Wow, look at that - problem solved!
I bet elon is parting with ads as a revenue source I think the idea is give all the ad money to creators so the business isn’t dependent on bad revenue Then it also creates an incentive for creators to police themselves (at length) due to brand selection bias they will rely on those blue subscriber as their revenue source, so i geuss they will still need those people to subscribe to blue
Seems like every move twitter makes is something akin to swindler last swindle before jumping ship. Instead of listening to its user fanbase, they make unnecessary changes that nobody asked.
Threads though will have instagram and facebook to tap as a source for the process of revenue sharing and copyright enforcement. I think they'll be ok. As for Twitter i bet there is a contributory infringement copyright lawsuit incoming if they just do nothing regarding copyright infringement.
Honestly, this is a shit deal considering both the requirements, the fact that you have to be part of their paid program and the crappie payout. To be blunt it's more about getting a lot of suckers to pay to be verified members while chasing a dream of making actual money on the site. You would be better off promoting affiliate links with your account and linking your account to subscribestar and ask for a small monthly donation.
I know it may not be 100% relevant to your audience, but have you discussed Canada’s new law that requires tech companies to compensate media organizations if they want to host Canadian news content on their platforms? It’s already happening on Meta apps (Facebook, Instagram) and Google says it rejects it.
I like Marques but there ain’t no way I’m paying $5 a month for just one creator’s tweets. I can’t imagine paying for Twitter Blue on top of paying individual creators.
What if they pay you more for sharing the original source than the posting the original? But just once so people don’t spam and abuse a ton of retweets.
Is it possible to make a comfortable living off only X/Twitter? Without a website or any other social media channels? For example, if you have about 500k followers on only X/Twitter.
Starting from fresh account as not blue user I get 100-500 impressions but when twitter blue users reteeets it can get to 50k posting memes about trending stuff
I joined Twitter fresh account last year in September months later in from may my impressions were already 100k then following months 200k without a subscription then Twitter busy sending me massages that i am missing out on being monetized now this month i decided to pay for blue check i applied for monetizing still waiting for response still under review so its doable but you have to be consistent
Like everything else these days on Twitter, this is like some idea someone came up with and they just rolled it out, without thinking about it, without properly explaining it or thinking it through. I get it, free money is nice but there’s so many loose ends and question marks with this. Another lesson in the book “how to slowly destroy Twitter”
@@vixozas Loose ends, like no insights for the creator on how the $-amount was derived, what are the exact rules and guidelines and thresholds for payment etc… Then also, as mentioned in the video, what about the potential incentive for creators to just start tweeting stuff generating replies for earnings as opposed to creating useful content.
and now its 5M impressions on your posts, within the last 3 months. so does that mean 5m impressions within 90 days and you're eligible? also does replies, retweets, quote retweets also get included in that number?
It kind of makes you pause now they revealed their plans for X. Like, they will channel those funds to be spent through the app now with their financial services stuff for sure.
