    “Far right” people seem to be getting paid first because more of them paid for twitter blue, which is needed for the payouts. The “far left” are too busy crying (on twitter) that they lost their check mark and that they’re leaving.

    “Far left” people like Brian krassenstein got paid BIG: https://twitter.com/krassenstein/status/1679586542929453061?s=46&t=Cbb3biYQblpmbWC3J0KfQg

    Biggest payout I’ve seen of anyone on there so far.

      Idk, I’ve seen a couple of 70k+ payouts mentioned by far-right personalities in the other thread. But the checkmark thing probably adds to the overall effect

        Geez that’s some payout!

        The check mark is the main reason. The “far left” people aren’t paying for twitter blue so they don’t get any ad revenue share. Those that do pay are getting paid.

        Then you’ve got idiots like Taylor Lorenz saying that musk is now bribing people to stay on twitter despite this being announced months ago.
