I don’t see how that’s remotely possible. Sounds like someone selling their expertise in making money on Facebook is overstating revenue, to make money. Ten cents per like? No way. Compare that to the tiniest fraction of a cent artists get for every play of their songs on streaming services. The economics here don’t add up. Still, people obviously are making some money, but if it’s people in the global South driving this, a) it wouldn’t take much revenue to make it worthwhile, and b) it might not be worthwhile - they might not be getting the revenue they expect, and it’s all a house of cards, even on their end.
I have to say though, this his hilarious. Using speech-to-text, machine translating to English and then feeding that through an image generator is perfect. Being paid (however much) to destroy the functionality of Facebook with a flood of machine-generated shit, liked by cognitively declining Boomers who somehow think it’s real, is beautiful. (Aided by a lack of moderation, underfunded as Zuck wasted billions on AI? Magnificent.) Hopefully this is the end of social media as we know it, to be replaced by something better.
