Twitter’s New Monetization Model
Elon Musk’s Twitter is officially altering per its new owner’s request, beginning with a variety of new subscriptions and monetization that may beat YouTube’s current model. According to Musk, the model for monetization is coming “for all forms of content” on Twitter. Added features will include “long-form text to tweets” and longer video content. Musk stated that Twitter could “beat” YouTube’s current rate of 55% total ad revenue to creators through their new model.
Canceled Influencers 2nd Attempt
Shane Dawson recently posted a 53-minute video titled, “The Cancelled World Of Jeffree Star and Shane Dawson”, his first upload in six months. The video has about 2.3 million views on his channel with nearly 20 million subscribers. Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star, once the biggest and most beloved creators on the platform, are still kept at an arm’s distance on the internet, demonstrating the effects of cancellation when a creator refuses to completely acknowledge their faults.
