The popular microblogging site, X, formerly known as Twitter has begun the dispersal of payments to its influencers through its ad revenue-sharing program.
Some verified Nigerian users reported received notifications about incoming deposits — including one user claiming he’s set to receive over N430,000. The rewards are based on ads in replies to eligible users’ content.
Also, a Nigerian Comedian, Taaoma confirmed to have received $20,000.
X would however, not allow creators to monetize copyrighted content that they do not own and contents about “pyramid schemes or get-rich-quick schemes”, violence, criminal behaviors, gambling, or drugs and alcohol.
Following the announcement, a lot of Nigerians have reacted excitedly to the ad revenue-sharing program because it provides an opportunity to generate more income.
Some reactions include
@official_maxiee says: “With this monetization, all of us go buy blue tick by fire by force. Elon is a business man after all”
@UncleHox says: “I think it’s great that creators have an avenue to get more money out of the app. As a platform I do think it’s dangerous to prioritize monetization over credibility however“
Meanwhile, lot of X users have also gone ahead to subscribe to twitter Blue as it is the only way they can make money from the app.
