"Twitter's New Payment System Rewards Andrew Tate and DC Draino for Contributions"

Twitter has announced that it will share ad revenue with content creators on its platform, but the program appears to be benefiting high-profile far-right influencers first. Influencers such as Ian Miles Cheong, Benny Johnson, and Ashley St. Claire have publicly revealed their earnings, with some earning over $20,000. However, not all prominent right-wing contributors are part of the program, leading to concerns about fairness and transparency. Some nonpolitical contributors also expressed frustration with the lack of transparency and the arbitrary nature of the program. Former Twitter staffers and creators raised doubts about the sustainability and motives behind the program. Additionally, some creators expressed concerns about Twitter's volatility and its alignment with their values. The announcement comes as Instagram's Twitter-like app Threads surpasses 100 million sign-ups, prompting discussions about the importance of monetization for user retention.
