In reply to the discussion: Is DU becoming a Xitter channel? [View all]CaptainTruth
(7,308 posts)One more click might add to the number of users/viewers that Elmo uses when he sells advertising, but how much will all DU members clicks add to Elmo's revenue? 0.0000000000001 cent? Maybe. IE, nothing.
On the other hand, verified X accounts earn money & get a payment every month based on their engagement. The more engagement with their posts, the more they get paid.
So, when someone posts a link to an X post by a Democratic ally & you click on that link & interact with their post you are increasing their engagement & increasing how much they will be paid (by X) for that month. You are taking money OUT of Elon's pocket & putting it INTO the pocket of our Democratic allies. Isn't that what we all want?
Yet some folks say that's "supporting Musk"???
Come on my friends, please learn how this works.
