Twitter CEO Said People are Making a ‘Living’ Posting on X
The CEO was quick to hit up just how much money the company has been throwing at creators for driving engagement on the platform. Yaccarino held up all that’s changed since Musk acquired the platform, including the “evolution into long-form video and articles, subscribe to your favorite creators, who are now earning a real living on the platform.”
A fair number of people have made money from Twitter, though many of those big payouts have gone to people on the far right including alleged human trafficker Andrew Tate. Other payments have gone to accounts that simply repost other people’s memes.
The payouts themselves ranged from tens of thousands of dollars to just a few hundred, which is not bad for simply posting regularly, but most are not earning anywhere near a living on the platform. Payments have also been delayed past Twitter’s own July 31 deadline.
