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!
