I love how casually Marques reacted to getting $6,000 for tweeting
That's nothing for him. I mean it isn't life changing for him.
It's the equivalent of finding a $5 bill in your car that you didn't expect- for him
@@basicallyhuman Now that's a flex
@@Striker50_I would be way too happy to find 5 dollars in my car 😂
6k is insignificant
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.
What's also funny, you need a *Twitter Blue Subscription* - many platforms like here on CZcams and Facebook/Instagram don't require lmao.
@@EmmanuelMotelin Imagine having to pay for Google AdSense. Or you have to have CZcams Premium to have a monetized channel.
@@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
@@EmmanuelMotelin I like first the outrage was "Imagine paying for Twitter! THEY should pay ME!" and now when they actually start paying you everyone gets salty lmao
I agree with the 'dim mode' on twitter. I think all phones should have that hybrid between dark and light mode.
you mean X
@@Pyrozoid ahh yes, X! My apologies 🫢🫢
*Whispering to your ear* It's still Twitter...
$6000 is a lot of money, for just tweeting
exactly this, its life changing money and its so easily dismissed here, incredibly out of touch
@@Glade4the only people who even break 1k are gonna be celebrities and well established creators. Or the gimmick accounts that just repost the biggest hits over the past years
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.
Does anyone know the name of it??
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.
You guys need to post more wave form clips videos. Some great prospectives from 4 of you on the threads app.
If only Marques that a one time 6k payout would genuinely totally transform my life
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.
“I imagine saying X is paying you to X” wouldn’t have been a better title… 😅😂
Basically paying influencers to stay on the platform?
Bro, Marques made over $6k just by posting a couple of tweets? This is amazing!
Over 6 months
@@ChibbyLibrariansAnimeEnc-vl9px i can wait
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.
Aww h8rs gonna h8. Let them tears out.
@@Sal3600 lol am i the hater?
@@oqasho.This is probably one of the bots that Twitter sent dw about it 😂
@@Sal3600did you really just say "h8ers" lol
Yes and largely they are only paying right wingers
When will Threads be in Meta Business Suite so I can track and plan all posts in there?
great stuff fellas!
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.
Here we go, now I’m sure you’re the opposite politically then me so I will make fun of you here(……) haha
@@robertleidner9703 what does this reply even mean lol
This is true. Even Facebook. CZcams 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.
People on threads like to pretend it's a toxic free environment, until I mention I prefer Twitter. Then I'm a misogynistic Nazi transphobe.
Instagram comments are the worst thing to exist. Even twitter cant match it
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.
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.
It's a work in progress tbh. With a huge overhaul they want things to be set up well and it all takes time to work out the kinks
@@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 could you share how it's in freefall?
@@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.
You should get a threadssss, I’ll follow you! Lmao
Noone cares
Killing a good concept of influence for greed
*Desperate.*
Now that the branding has changed, this now needs to be titled “X is Paying You To Post”
What should people do when twitter doesn't send form to cancel the account suspension ?
X is paying you to X
And now it actually happened...
Twitter? never heard of it before, what is that? Is it similar to X
How is nobody talking about how hard the outro music goes
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.
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?
Twitter isn't going anywhere 😂
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
F twitter
Twitter? What Twitter?
how twitter pay if i got 1m impressions how much they pay
He said 15 mill in 3 months instead of each month
1:36 thats so bootleg LMAOOOO
It's good for creators
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"...
Threads died as fast as it came lol the censoring in it is wild
Let me say, "this dudett looks good in salmon color".. Marq has good taste 😅
Her King
He is about to slip on a banana peal and go straits evidence disclosure JAG money.
I never get a preroll ad on this channel. Strange.
What tech people do yall follow??
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.
Tweeter X > Threads
6:37 lmaoooo
What’s Twitter?
Valid question
What is Twitter?
People are gonna be just posting what chatGPT gives them from prompts...
People are now tweeting very hot takes for more engagements
I think you shoul be able to tweet while watching a video, without pausing. It is possible on youtube. I think it would improve the engagement.
Split screen I guess
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.
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.
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.
But the thing on the twitter is good, I don't see where it is bad. P.s. Many people asked about this.
There's 350 000 foxes in UK alone 15:45
Are they going to pay us? 😮😅
Prob not
Wow. Did you even mention the Twitter logo change?
this was recorded before that (but posted after, I think)
@@xylo5750 that would make sense and I really hope so. I know they just cashed a check that Twitter gave them but have to at least talk about that.
You mean "X" right?
I can't believe twitter is dyingggg 😩😩😩
X is paying to Tweet
Let’s talk about X baay bee. Let’s talk about you and me
Twitter is gone. X payed you to X. What a waste of a brand
Only paying popular people
Knowing CZcams and knowing Twitter I can already see a video being made called "I monetized my furry p*rn Twitter account"
What should people do when twitter doesn't send form to cancel the account suspension ?
meanwhile youtube is paying you just for talking
My job pays me to answer emails
😂 i block ads
You mean X! Lols
Hello sir, i had 34m impressions in the month of May, 1.7 in June and 1.5 in July cause i got busy with studies. Am i still eligible?
i guess you are eligible, the eligibity now is 5 million impression cumulative in the last three month, so you are eligible as long as 34m impression in may is in the span of 3 months ago
@@muhamadfikri6145I hit 7.1m in a three month span, but there is a bug so some people that qualify but aren't in the program. I was told they are fixing it.
If you have 7 million impression so how we can earn on tweeter
dont you mean X is paying me to XXX
Cookie Monster tee 🔥
What's "Twitter"? 🤔
You mean x ? 😂
X*
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.
What should people do when twitter doesn't send form to cancel the account suspension ?
Subscribed now. You happy? XD
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”
What kind of losses do you see?
@@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.
@@thomas_xsg what do you mean creators? Everyone is a creator - just go ahead and tweet.
@@thomas_xsg what do you mean creators? Everyone is a creator - just go ahead and discussing.
Nah I think it wil be fine
Dam
Twitter is quite for a while? Well, it will be quite forever soon.
Lol nice coping
X is paying you to Xeet?
Desperate much
How do i sign up- im fucking poor
buy appl, Nvidia and other companies you like stock, close ur eyes for 3 years and reply with ur profits ;) (or a S&P, VTO, FTSE or some baby ETF if ur lame but also decent advice but take the first one)
It's a bribe
2:15
Twitter is dead 💀
Been saying it months but it's fine lol
Buddy
14:20 what the hell is ActivityPub???
X
@mkbhd You know the rules... and so do I.
You guys are getting paid?
No, Elon is paying creators he likes.
Not really
“X”
Title is wrong, should be "X is paying you to X". Poor journalism.
This was probably before the announcement of X.
@@monsterhunter445no. This video was posted today. The title was made today. No bailouts bro.
It was from last week episode, since this is short version of the same podcast.
Title should have been X is Paying You to Xeet?! Twitter is no more, or as Monty Python put it: "'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This bird is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-BIRD!!"
I'm not updating the app you will have to pry the bird from my cold dead phone grip.
So does only your own posts matter? Because I get way more views as a reply guy. I've already made it in, haven't been thru a pay cycle yet.
the threads take aged horribly lol
if you post on twitter it is called a tweet. what is it called now when you post on X? since musk is so obssessed with XXX, maybe posts should now be called skeets? lol
😂
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.
