Has anyone figured out how money is being made from these shitty videos? There are so many of them and they have to be generating revenue for someone.
Interaction= more reach, more reach = more/better deals for sponsorships/endorsement.
The silly videos may not be monetized, but the algorithm might show you their next post that was paid for
I think the flow is, create a group with many followers by posting slop, then sell the group to someone else so they can rename it and market their product to existing follower base. The product in question usually being some kind of scam.
This one ☝️ and they definitely don’t turn the groups into radical political ones afterwards
So much of the internet is dedicated entirely to identifying and collecting idiots for targeted scams.
The internet changed so much since being a rest from crushing reality of real life, hasn't it?
It's a self sustaining economy
I think there is ad revenue on some Facebook videos for creators, no?
