Pretty clear which doesn’t make you farm engagement to be seen.
I miss what X was for a brief moment in time. Unfortunately it’s become exactly what it was when I left Twitter years ago, if not worse.
This “creator” program ruined authentic conversation and is a carrot dangled to keep this platform alive and people chasing pennies.
Fake news and rage bait have taken over because X pays for it.
There is no value in Premium and I’m done posting to nobody because I refuse to engagement farm.
Best of luck to those who are willing to continue on and hope things get better. I’ve waited for a year and they’ve only gotten worse.
Happy New Year and to those who I met that were authentic and real, it was a pleasure meeting you.
@RichSilver@d2fl Conservative accounts taking engagement from left accounts. But people didn’t pay attention that it just gave the engagement to grift on the conservative side. A big circle of games.
Payout? You’re being played. They give you enough to keep you hooked and paying for Premium and you do.
It’s never been about creators, it’s about keeping their numbers up.
Stop kidding yourself.
@monetization_x@GrrrGraphics It makes a lot of sense. Spread it around enough to keep people engaging and paying for Premium. It’s working as intended, people just refuse to see it.
@MuskratPiss@JohnCena There is definitely a change that happened a year ago I can’t put my finger on. Because that’s when mine went into the trash too.
