Plot Twist: YouTube Greed Revives Flailing Facebook
I joined the Creator Rewards program on Facebook and I'll admit, I wasn't taking it that seriously at first. I have 250K+ YouTube subs and just wanted to earn my $1K/month for 3 months and bounce. But, after YouTube decided to cut Shorts monetization for ~98% of creators (I actually triple the requirements and am safe on one channel but will lose $350/month on another channel with an average of 5M engaged views per 90 days).... I am starting to warm up to Facebook. The reels don't pay well, but... they pay. Now, they're linking shopping as well. I am getting a lot of engagement, nice build of community. I kind of like it there.... mostly because I know I'll get paid for my content no matter what.
