I guess we got another competitor. Or not?
Probably not as the requirements to get paid anything are absurdly high:
- Subscribe to Twitter Blue or become a Verified Organization
- Have at least 5M impressions on your posts in each of the last 3 months
- Get a Stripe account
- Must have a verified email address, two-factor authentication, a profile picture, bio, and a header image
- Have at least 10,000 followers
- Must have tweeted at least 25 times in the past month
- Apply and pass a human review
The biggest setbacks being the impression numbers and follower numbers, although I guess you can probably easily fake the follower count, like almost any big account has done on Twitter.
Last month I hit 1 million impressions but most of it came from being a reply guy and it was a hassle honestly.
I explained how that approach can be used to grow your account and help Hive.
Your profile needs to be related in part to whatever you reply to, something I did not do.
I consider myself unironically hilarious almost at the level of a drunk Brit on summer vacation but the requirement of achieving this level of impressions using the tag of Hive on your post makes, making money like this, ultimately impossible.
And its not just Hive. This means that a creator in any lesser followed topic has no chance whatsoever to make any money on Twitter. On Youtube thats not the case. On Hive that is absolutely not the case.
Hive allows stake holders to search and support you using an entirely different mechanism.
The interesting thing, if you look at it is that for the amount of ad revenue that Twitter earns, for the amount of people actually using it, theyre giving a miniscule total amount of 5 million USD a month for a platform of 500 million reported users.
The Hive reward pool is 300k USD and we are talking about low tens of thousands of users here.
I guess the bigger you get, the less you have to share and still look good.
