GM Degens! The $DEGEN Airdrop 2 program alone has distributed 3.8B $DEGEN (worth $42.7M) to 54.7k wallets in under a year. That’s an average payout of $779.5 per user. 🎉 But how does that compare to payouts from Web2 platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube? Let’s dive in! ⬇️

2/ Twitter vs. $DEGEN • Twitter’s creator payout program (launched in 2023) pays select accounts with huge followings. • Many large influencers received only a few hundred dollars per month, despite driving millions of impressions. • Regular users? They get $0. Most never see any payout for their tweets, even if they go viral. 👀 Meanwhile, Farcaster users average $779.5 simply by engaging with the community and claiming $DEGEN. No ads or sponsors required.

3/ Facebook & Instagram: Are You Getting Paid? • Meta’s platforms prioritize ad revenue, so regular users earn nothing. • Only a small % of creators get experimental payouts through programs like Facebook Reels, and even that’s highly selective. • Creators rely heavily on sponsorship deals, not platform payouts. $DEGEN flips the model: Farcaster users earn directly from the ecosystem.

4/ YouTube’s Pay Model: Hard Work for Little Reward • The average YouTube payout is $2-$4 per 1,000 views, meaning 200k-400k views are needed to earn $779. • This is a tough benchmark for many creators, and consistent earnings can be even harder. 😞 • Unlike $DEGEN, which directly rewards user participation, YouTube payouts depend on sustained growth. With $42.7M distributed across Farcaster, we’ve already proven that users can benefit from a decentralized ecosystem where their activity creates value.

5/ Why $DEGEN > Traditional Social Payouts Web2 platforms gatekeep payouts behind ads, sponsors, and select programs that exclude the majority of users. $DEGEN removes the middlemen and ensures value flows directly to the community.

$2-$4 per 1,000 is actually higher than average!

Do the ones you mentioned, like Instagram and YouTube, etc., tell people to lock their tokens? Do they make new rules every day they want, one day before users can withdraw? You gave these tokens in exchange for locking the tokens. I just came here and bought tokens to get daily rewards and I haven't withdrawn anything. What should I do? I hope you have an answer, sir. @jacke
