YouTube, the Jewel of the Internet

Twitter's recently rolled out their ad revenue sharing arrangement and it's a 20% margin (under $50k is 3%) vs YouTube's 45%. Maybe low balling the early days to build traction? Also people probably aren't consuming 1 person's Twitter the way they consume Youtube channels.

Still it will be interesting to see how many hundreds/thousands of mom & pop careers will be built off Twitter now.

Is that really about Twitter sharing ad revenue? The page is just talking about paid "subscriptions" to Twitter creators. That seems like a business model where the revenue cut is irrelevant. Nobody will pay $5/month to subscribe to one person's tweets.

Yes the FAQ sucks but it's the same deal as TikTok/Youtube/etc: you get a 80% of revenue made from ads that appear on your content.

It apparently hasn't fully rolled out yet so the docs are confusing. They claimed it has started on Feb for Blue subscribers but that may change.
