Billy Markus, who along with Jackson Palmer founded the first meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin in 2013, has turned to the X app (formerly known as Twitter) to express his happiness over receiving another payment from the service since it paid content producers a portion of advertising income.
Markus acknowledged that the X app check he obtained this time was less than what he had before just lately. On X, Billy Markus is referred to as “Shibetoshi Nakamoto,” and he has more than 2.1 million fans.
DOGE creator’s paycheck on X gets smaller
Markus acknowledged that the amount he was paid this time was around one-third of what he had received during the previous 14 days. Even so, he expressed his gratitude for the chance to make money doing what he does by simply posting on the X app. He values these gains from his material and refers to them as “magic bonus money.” “It’s absolutely crazy and amazing that I get paid anything at all to post on this app,” he continued.
Markus thinks that even though he has 2.1 million followers, his income is decreasing since fewer individuals are getting paid and his account is now only seen by a smaller number of people.
Even yet, he maintains that “it’s all just a gift.”
According to U.Today, Markus was dubbed the second-highest earner on X in the middle of July after receiving $37,050 as part of the first round of payments the firm paid to authors.
A week ago, Markus revealed that he utilised this platform to develop Dogecoin, which he characterised as Bitcoin in a dog skin, back when this programme was still known as Twitter, focused on microblogging, and was overseen by Jack Dorsey.
Elon Musk rolls out updates to help creators on X app
Elon Musk, the creator of the X app and a digital entrepreneur and visionary, has added a number of ground-breaking features to the platform to increase its appeal to content creators. He has introduced longreads, live videos, and is now testing audio and video calls, in particular. The latter would increase the app’s usefulness for both content creators and all users. Musk also said that in the future, he intends to add dating and job-hunting parts to this social networking platform to transform X into “the everything app.”
Additionally, he incorporated app monetization so that developers could share in the profits from advertising. They may also make money by using the “Subscription” option.
