Imagine getting paid to post soyjak memes on Reddit lmao
The model works when you have high effort content (YT, Insta, TikTok, Yelp). The bar to get started is high, so the idea of a payout gets the ball rolling for some people. Contributing to Reddit (and Lemmy for that matter) probably doesn't fit that bill.
To be honest most of the content on Tiktok and Youtube is fucking awful. But advertisers will pay a lot more for unskippable video ads than they will to Reddit.
I can't believe it is any lower than twitter effort, and supposedly eLOLon is monetizing users there haha
Yt is simple. But the others. Itβs much of the same. Really youβre getting revenue based on views. Even if the ads were only on your individual profile. I dunno. Something would be better than nothing.
