So much of social media today is just people begging, like literally begging, for “engagement” so they can get a few crumbs paid out from the platform’s advertising overlords. I put “X users” on the meme, but spend any time on any platform that does ad revenue sharing and you see it. It is pathetic.
#value4value is fundamentally better.
Preach
It’s sad. Probably 1 out of 10 videos I see on tiktok are people literally saying “please watch this video for a few moments to help me make money off it.” On X, people begging for verified followers snd impressions so they can be eligible to monetize. They’re not creating content, not adding value to anyone’s life. They are the bottom feeders of the digital economy, lol.
💯
and to earn what? I think they have dollar signs in their eyes without realizing very few earn anything substantial off the engagemnt farm system
They should try Nostr, I’m way worse off from zapping 😂
It is hard to tell but I think in terms of engagement, revenue on Nostr is probably 100x higher
I think you only need to make about 10 sats per 1000 views to match the revenue on X. We definitely make more than 10 sats per 1000 views. I think we probably make like 25 sats per 100 views
And on nostr everyone is “eligible” from the moment they attach a lightning wallet to their profile. My hunch is that for 99% of people, using nostr and V4V would result in far better results in terms of monetization. That will probably change over time as more people publish content to Nostr, as the amount of available content will go up, and therefore competition for zaps will likely trend to either higher quality content and/or creators that are more liked by other users.
I will never stop zapping every post I like 🗣️😤
Debated on starting a yt channel of reaction videos to reaction videos just to see how far the spiral down goes 😅
