Popular American creators who join Facebook and Instagram might receive up to $5,000 (£4,040) from social media behemoth Meta.
According to the statement, users who sign up using “third-party social apps” will receive money based on “an evaluation of your social presence.”
Although TikTok isn’t specifically mentioned, the timing seems to indicate that Meta is trying to take advantage of the ambiguity surrounding its competitor as concerns over whether President Trump can find a way to keep it available to US customers persist.
With 170 million users in the US, many of whom depend on TikTok for their livelihoods, many people would be looking for other places to post if the platform vanished.
According to Meta’s website, users who are approved for the alleged “Breakthrough bonus program” will receive the funds within the first ninety days of using the app, provided they continue to post often.
Each 30-day period requires users to submit a minimum of 20 reels on Facebook and 10 reels on Instagram, which is Meta’s take on vertical TikTok videos.
Additionally, it requires that these be unique videos rather than ones that have already been shared on other sites.
However, not everyone is eligible to participate; only those who are brand-new to Instagram or Facebook will be eligible to get the money.
People must apply to be allowed into the program, therefore it appears that the corporation will choose who gets accepted on an individual basis.
A complimentary membership to its blue check verification system is one of the additional benefits it is providing.
