It's funny when people come at me with the "paid influencer" BS.
I covered my own costs for years. Until Elon started the "ad share revenue" I hadn't made a penny. I signed up for the ad share revenue because X makes money off my content, so I was getting my cut. I don't spam post so I didn't make much, it did pay for my operating costs (video editing program, X, Suno).
Because I don't spam post I don't have enough views to apply for the "original content payout" right now, so I'm back to paying out of pocket for my operating costs, but that's fine with me. It's really not that much unless I end up paying for the upgraded Grok image. Been thinking about it.
I don't do this for money. It was nice having my operating costs covered, but I don't care about the money. I can make money off my video editing later.
I don't care if Anons make money off their time. Honestly, no one should. It's none of your business. I support capitalism & freedom.
I know if I fully monetized (no paywalls) a bunch of people would start calling me a grifter even after a decade of being solid. I've watched it happen.
Yes, there are grifters, but not everyone that makes money is a grifter. There's a difference.
There are a lot of ways I could make money with this account, but it just doesn't matter to me right now. I want to make money off my skills but it's not important to me. I honestly feel kinda dumb for not making money off my skills. I have nothing to show for all the time I've put in (in my real life).
Waking people up has always been my payout. My mission is to Red Pill people. Waking someone up is all the payment I've ever needed. People I've woken up & my archive are what I have to show for the years I've put in, & I'm proud of that.
Before you label me, check my resume.
