Transcript

So I had one of the weirdest Twitter interactions ever. And I say that because there was some honesty for a change. I see this guy making a tweet, a tweet that is obviously bait, trying to make people angry. And the tweet basically explains how his best friend doesn't understand that you've got to give Trump time. And even though his best friend's wife just got deported, he needs to be reasonable. As you can imagine, people are very angry at this tweet, and they're replying to him insulting him. But I, instead of insulting him back, or reacting in anger, decided to approach him with the question. Is this really a good business model? Do you actually make money doing this? You claw back some of the money that you pay for your little checkmark. And funny enough, he was honest, and he responded to me that he made about $6 ,000. last year angering what he calls stupid people. Now, this is a rare moment on Twitter because I think most people are not very honest to more so because they hide behind avatars. But it also serves as a lesson. Because if you are going on Twitter, getting angry, how stupid some people are, all that you are doing is falling for these traps or these... rage, bait, traps, and feeding into what is obviously a distorted system of incentives. And it's ironic because Elon Musk talks about incentives being broken all the time. And yet his platform, it's probably the worse.

Comments

@brianoflondon: I'm honest on X and I probably don't make enough from monetization for it!

@keithtaylor: I'm aware of this business model in UK media... "What did middle England want? It turned out that, partly at least, it wanted to be angry: it wanted a newspaper that understood the anger it felt, and could give it more to be angry about." — Ian Jack, The Guardian (regarding the Daily Mail)

@harvestmoon299: The last video I saw from you played from my ecency app on my samsung zfold. This one didn't I copied the link and opened in the keychain browser where I saw the video fine, but with the ecency action toolbar invading the video. As for playing the X monetization game, I pass. Leveraging the algorithm is an occult discipline that is fickle with its favor. We all become bigots as it feeds us content designed to be free of unsavory characters and their ilk.

@chinito: rage bait? is that like jail bait?? :P

@melinda010100: Sending you some Ecency curation votes
