I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

Too many people who had similar priorities to my own pre-2016 haven't grasped that the stakes are much different now.
Publicly owned grocery stores and free busses are silly ideas for New York. Accelerating fascism is an existential threat to America.
Silly ideas are survivable. Fascism isn't.

Yawning at the limited government folks warning that a democratic socialist mayor of New York is an existential threat, but who remain guardedly optimistic about an authoritarian president.

Bo Bichette just hit a three-run shot off the Flight Deck in centre field. 442 feet.
A career-defining moment for Bichette. Wow. Shohei Ohtani is walking off the mound.
