They also paid a bunch of streamers to go stream on Facebook instead of twitch or YouTube. Most streamers took the money, streamed how long the contract was, then went back to their old platforms.
i don't know what cuckedberg wants, since the program is for short videos and he already owns instagram anyway
"Most creators over a million [followers] are going to be making way more money from brand deals or from maybe direct revenue on YouTube or memberships."
Facebook will pay $3,000 a month for 15 reels uploaded, which amounts to $200 per video. "That doesn't even cover production costs for some creators. So it makes no sense for me," he says.
ngl it's funny how stingy meta is with the rewards here. Even microslop had the decency to throw fuckloads of money in their desperate attempt to get a twitch competitor going

Didn't Facebook sink millions to get influencers on that metaverse? How well did that turnout?
Talk about a failing business.

Facebook: we’re creating Ready Player One, look, you can go to work meetings!
Users: can we just dress up as sexy cats instead?
FB: no.

When I open Facebook every 4 months, I've always received several pokes from a guy named Keith, who's been referred to as my uncle.

lol what a lad, good ol' Keith.
I had no idea poking was still a thing. I thought it disappeared like a decade ago. I haven't been in facebook since 2011 lol

Oof. The desperation is palpable and does not bode well for the future of Facebook. May it burn in hell

Facebook single handedly destroyed College Humor (and others) with their video algorithm bullshit. Never forget
