π°π “Tweeting for Treasure: Twitter Starts Dropping Dollar Bills for Big Creators” ππ°
TL;DR;
π¬Twitter has officially activated its ad-revenue sharing initiative, with payments landing in the accounts of some big-time creators. Think of this as Twitter’s version of Santa, dishing out goodies based on who’s naughty or nice, except replace “naughty or nice” with “having a ton of followers and generating lots of ads”. πΈπ² And guess what? This sweet payout deal is only for Twitter Blue or Verified Organizations subscribers who’ve scored at least five million post impressions each month for the last three months. High bar much? π€π
π¦ The Full Story:
When Twitter announced its ad-revenue sharing program earlier this year, everyone was like, “Cool, but like… how’s this gonna work?” Well, folks, the bird has finally spilled the beans, and some lucky creators have already started seeing that sweet green in their accounts. π₯³π°
One user even claimed they’re about to pocket a cool $24K! Just imagine how many avocado toasts that could buy…π₯π But remember, you gotta be big time to get a slice of this pie, or should we say, pile of cash. The catch? You must be a Twitter Blue subscriber or a Verified Organization, and you need to have at least five million post impressions for the past three months. So, if you’re not yet a Twitter superstar, better start thinking of those witty tweets! π«π
Twitter has always been a tweet-eat-tweet world, but it seems like it’s shifting gears. The goal is to incentivize creators who help drive ad revenue, essentially giving back to those who help Twitter make money and attract more Blue subscriptions. An article from Twitter published today stated, “This is part of our effort to help people earn a living directly on Twitter.” Bravo, Twitter, Bravo. ππ
But let’s be honest, isn’t it interesting that this new system has rolled out right after Meta launched its Twitter rival, Threads? πΈοΈπ€ Threads, in just its first five days, amassed over 100 million users! Yeah, that’s more than the previous record holders, ChatGPT and TikTok. Is Twitter feeling the heat? π‘οΈπ
So, it looks like Twitter’s betting big on its creators. If you’re eligible and pass a human review (Yeah, no bots allowed! π€β), you’ll get paid through a Stripe account. Twitter also plans to launch an application process soon under “Monetization” in account settings.
To sum up, Twitter’s writing checks and taking names. But only if your name is on a pretty hefty list of requirements. It’s great news for big creators, but what about the little guy, the ones tweeting witty remarks and hilarious memes to their modest follower count? π€·ββοΈπ

And here’s a question for you: Do you think Twitter’s new move will actually help creators, or is it just a strategy to keep up with the competition? Could this be a step towards equalizing the social media world, or does it just further widen the gap between the haves and have-nots? What’s your take, folks? π€β¬οΈ
