Does anything good come from revenue shares from social media sites, like Facebook or Instagram? I’m not a user of either platform but I get the sense that those programs are more likely to promote plagurism and AI slop.

The only one I see having any success is YouTube. Granted there’s plagurism and AI slop there too, but others seem to have an easier time making original content and making a living from revenue shares doing so. I subscribe to several channels that get a large proportion of their income this way.

I’ve not heard of any original content creators on Facebook or Instagram doing likewise, at least via recommendations from those outside the network. And less said about Twitter’s (I’m not calling it that letter) efforts here, the better.
