Twitter Begins Invite-Only Ad Revenue Sharing for Select Creators, Prompting Concerns Over Incentives for Controversial Content

  • Twitter has started a new program to share ad revenue with popular creators, leading to payouts ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.
  • To qualify, creators must be verified, have millions of monthly impressions, and pass human review of content guidelines.
  • Right-wing figures and provocateurs are among the first to benefit, raising worries about incentives for inflammatory tweets.
  • Twitter aims to retain creators and compete with other platforms, but risks encouraging objectionable content.
  • Major brands continue reducing ads on Twitter over content moderation concerns, jeopardizing the program's funding.
