Are you getting paid to post on the Fediverse?
-
When Twitter decided on an advertising business model, they changed their developer TOS to disallow advertising clients, so sponsoredtweets.com shut down. But there's no single entity that can change the TOS for the Fediverse, so this kind of business would totally work here. Steal this idea!

One thing that's hard to explain about this period in the evolution of social networks was how generative the platforms were. People built all kinds of interesting things on top of the Facebook Platform or the Twitter API.
Those businesses were slowly (sometimes quickly) strangled as the platforms pivoted to advertising models and needed to eliminate rivals or assert more control of the client experience.

@evan I keep hoping George Soros will discover my insightful comments here, and will offer to start paying me. So far, he's stayed silent.
@analogfusion influence is sold, not bought. Or peddled, I guess. If you want to get that sweet dark money, you have to go knock on some doors and get noticed. It's all about the hustle.

@evan also, there were so many games (mafia wars, farmvill, etc).it doesn't seem it's the case anymore. (Also, I don't hang on those platforms anymore that much except when I communicate for the dance nights I organise)

@evan too late, I went for a straightforward No...
@andypiper that's interesting! I went with Yes, But.

This reminds me of years ago, @evan posted to status.net (paraphrased): “Hey, everybody, you do realize that our plan to fund each other on a crowd-funding sites for all our work is actually *not* going to work, right?”.
In seriousness, It's fascinating that the key code that $DJT/TMTG added to Mastodon was a standard ad platform.
But I really don't think we need more “Influencers” though, do you?
