Facebook is offering creators from tiktok and youtube real money to post there and the reaction has been rough

meta launched this in march, paying creators with existing followings on tiktok, instagram or youtube up to a few thousand dollars a month just to also post video on facebook. one reddit thread about it had a comment that stuck with me, someone said it plainly, looks like facebook is trying hard to pull creators away from tiktok and youtube, which is basically the whole strategy stated out loud

the response from creators who actually tried it wasnt great. one person said they made ten cents off 275 thousand views. another with over 300 thousand followers said most posts were only getting 20 to 30 reactions total. the money is there upfront but the distribution once youre in doesnt match the size of the audience youre bringing over

theres history here too that a few people brought up, facebook ran a gaming creator program back in 2018 that worked fine at first and then quietly got worse once payments dropped. people arent just being cautious for no reason, theyve seen this exact move from this exact platform before

still, free money for cross posting something you already made is hard to say no to even with all that in mind, the actual math is going to be different depending on account size

if facebook offered you this tomorrow, would the reach numbers above be enough to make you say no

If it's the Breakthrough Bonus, I completed my three months at the end of last year. Made $5,000 a month and posted my entire TikTok library on FB within those three months, a total of 250-280 videos. I don't see any downsides to giving it a shot.

trusting meta in anything in 2026 is like walking into a pervert's house and hoping he wont make a move on you

Meta isn’t to be trusted. I know many creators that are demonetized after a while for vague reasons. They lure you in the beginning then they pull off their vague guidelines to limit the reach.

So I have done this program twice. The first time I was making $1500/month for 3 months. The program ended for me and I went from tens of thousands of views per video to 20-30. I only post stuff from IG that gets cross posted to FB because it’s a complete waste of time. They started the bonus program up again and I started posting a lot. This time my views were garbage. I’m back to just posting from IG to FB. Just a waste of time. Oh, 260k followers on FB.

For reference, I have 16k followers on X. I get like 200-400 times the engagement on X.

I’d still test it if the content is already made, but I wouldn’t treat the upfront payment as proof that Facebook can build a useful audience. I’d compare reach, watch time and actual follower growth for a month—the extra platform is only worth it if the cross-posting workflow stays genuinely low-effort.

facebook will humble you real quick. ten cents doesn't even cover the emotional damage of seeing a 300k audience turn into 20 confused likes.

I have about 113k followers on Instagram and made $1k a month over three months with the creator bonus on Facebook once they offered it to me. I have thousands of original content videos on Instagram so I just posted that old content onto Facebook. It was some easy cash. They had other bonuses too so I made a few hundred extra bucks with that. Now that the three month creator fast track bonuses are over, it truly doesn't pay much per video and they mostly push my content to low-paying countries, but I'll take an extra $5-100 bucks a month where I can get it. I'm still getting high views and like counts, though the engagement percentage is pretty low (I'll get 550k views with 2k likes or something). I have a full-time job outside of my social media so it's really just a bonus for me and I'm not too concerned about the numbers.

Facebook is definitely the worst platform for any creator. Had a page with 130k followers, which they shut down after 10 years for vague reasons. They don't want you to have the reach they can't cash on. 1000s of pages were shut down like this. I have a channel on YT with decent amount of followers and I would never take a chance with FB. They are greedy crooks drunk on power...

Does TikTok distribute videos based on where you are located?

I recently started a TikTok account where I share my experience living abroad in my native language. I expected my videos to reach people in my home country who are curious about what life is like here. But most of the people watching and commenting seem to be people from my same country who already live here too. They comment things like “I felt the same when I moved here.” It feels like TikTok is mainly showing my videos to people in the country where I currently live rather than people back home. Does TikTok prioritize showing videos based on the creator’s location at first? Or will the algorithm eventually reach people in other countries who speak the language?

Every account doing well in my niche is using the exact same format and its kind of unsettling

went digging into the top performing accounts in a niche i follow closely, expecting to see some spread, different formats, different approaches. found basically one shape repeated over and over, someone talking straight to camera, educational tone, the same three or four hook styles rotating checked across 50 plus videos and there wasnt a single one using b-roll or footage-led storytelling instead of talking head. not one. which either means talking head is just the objectively strongest format for that topic, or it means everyone copied whoever won first and nobody has actually tested anything else in years i lean toward the second explanation, because the highest performers in that same set also had engagement patterns that looked more like a comment funnel than real interest, so "winning" and "actually working for the business behind it" might not be the same thing here at all curious if this is specific to my niche or something that shows up everywhere once you look close enough

content creation as a college athlete

I'm thinking about content creation as student athlete. I'm looking into it because I'm already going into fitness so I thought that building a present on social media could help. I know it could give me opportunity for sponsorships from brands. Has anyone done this or doing it now? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Meta's $17bn teen settlement: we read the 130-page agreement, and it doesn't quite match Meta's own announcement

>In January 2024 Zuckerberg gave written testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Among the safety tools he listed: "Parental supervision tools, which let teens or their parents set daily limits for the total time that teens can spend on Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, Quest, and Horizon." Something families could choose to turn on. > >On 26 August 2026 Meta settled the case brought by state attorneys general, eight days into the trial in Oakland. The judge approved it and entered it as a final judgment the same day. The agreement requires Meta to set every 13 to 17 year old to a default limit of two hours a day across its apps, plus a block from midnight to 6am. Only a parent can loosen it. > >So the tool he described is now mandatory, and the person who can switch it off is the parent, not the teen. Meta built the tool. The settlement takes away the choice of whether to use it. > >**What it is not.** It is not a confession, the judgment says in terms that Meta denies the allegations and any liability, and the judge approved it "without the final adjudication of issues of fact and law." Nobody found that Instagram harms teenagers. Companies settle mid-trial all the time. > >**What the documents say that the coverage doesn't.** Three things we only found by reading the agreement itself: > > > >We filed it as "routine", not a gotcha. Nothing was hidden; the default moved and the denial didn't. It's here because in two years, when someone asks whether the limits were Meta's idea, the testimony and the court order are both dated. > >Source, with links to the Senate testimony, the signed judgment and the full agreement (hosted by the NJ and NY attorneys general): [https://www.insidethesuits.com/receipts/13-zuckerberg-teen-time-limits/](https://www.insidethesuits.com/receipts/13-zuckerberg-teen-time-limits/)

You can limit a LinkedIn Page post to a specific audience, but only if more than 300 of your followers match it

Ran into this while setting up audience-limited posts on a LinkedIn company page, so sharing in case it saves someone the confusion. LinkedIn lets a Page post go to a subset of your followers instead of all of them: by location, language, job function, seniority, industry or company size. It's basically organic targeting, and it's handy if you post in two languages or only sell in some countries. The catch: the combination you pick has to match more than 300 of your Page's followers. Below that, LinkedIn won't send it to the smaller group. We were publishing through LinkedIn's API and the post was rejected outright rather than quietly going to everyone. On a newer Page, almost any two stacked filters fall under the line. What worked for us: * Use one filter, not several. Location on its own clears 300 far more often than location plus seniority. * Look at your follower demographics first (Page analytics, Followers) so you know which filters actually have the numbers before you write the post. * If you can't clear it, post to everyone and write the first line for the people you want. The first line decides who stops scrolling anyway. Has anyone found a good way to reach a small slice of followers on LinkedIn without hitting that floor?
