Ponzi scheme? 🤔
Twitter will start paying creators... if they pay Twitter first!
Elon Musk says that Twitter will share revenue with content creators *only if* they subscribe $8/month to Twitter Blue.
In other words, Twitter gets paid when they recruit enough suckers...err, "downline distributors".
This sounds a lot like Amway!
Or worse -- one of those shady crypto schemes!
On another note...
If you're still a Twitter user, how excited are you about ads appearing in reply threads?

@atomicpoet Someone like Rob Manuel running the fesshole bot could end up suddenly fairly well off if Twitter really did start paying for the millions of impressions his robots get.
Wonder how that would balance against the API fees?
Pay with one hand, take away with the other.
