Why the fuck were they paying people to share disinformation to begin with?
To get Dump back in office
Nobody’s paying them specifically for sharing disinformation. They’ve been paid for driving engagement as content creators. The whole point of the article is that the platform is stopping payments to these people precisely because they’re spreading disinformation.
Platforms letting creators in on ad revenue generated by engagement with their content isn’t exactly a new thing. But if you then switch to spreading lies for profit, of course they should get kicked out of the program.
Paying people to share content was the problem. If you bought a Twitter Premium subscription, your big posts would get you money back. So people from poorer countries would post engagement bait.
Elon Musk already subsidizes fake media generation. So why not use that too, right?
