In the era of booming creator economy, can you really make money? Just look at the earnings data of this content creator to find out.

Recently, the article exposure has surpassed 100 million, which should have earned a substantial share, but when opening the wallet—only $4,495. This number clearly indicates the issue: there is a ceiling on the platform's creator share.

In other words, no matter how popular your content becomes or how exponentially your exposure grows, your earnings are stuck within a fixed range and won't increase with rising popularity. This is the true nature of the Web3 content ecosystem. It looks great on the surface, but in practice, you need to understand the rules behind it.

Over 100 million exposures only earned $4,495? This ceiling is really tough --- Basically, it's a harvesting machine for chives; the hotter it gets, the more ruthless the cut --- Wait, is this still Web3's "decentralization"? Feels more shady than Web2 --- Breaking 100 million exposures is not as quick as flipping some coins haha --- I've seen through it, the creator economy is just a story; real cash is hard to see --- No wonder everyone is trading instead of creating; the logic is fundamentally flawed --- After this data came out, many people probably want to cash out --- Spending so much effort to please the platform, and the revenue share is stuck, damn --- Web3 needs to reflect; it has really become another way to cut the chives

honestly, $4.5k on 100m impressions? that's statistically abysmal. let me pull up my spreadsheet real quick... yeah, the math doesn't even justify the effort tbh

Over 100 million in traffic for only $4,500? This is the real story of Web3. Where's the decentralization we were promised?

Hundreds of millions of exposures for just over four thousand dollars? That number is pretty brutal. --- That's just how the ceiling works, I've known that for a long time. --- To put it simply, it's still the platform cutting the leeks; the higher the popularity, the worse the revenue sharing. --- Web3 isn't as glamorous as you think; the tricks are pretty much the same. --- Even with over a hundred million in traffic, it can't hold up? Then I need to recalculate. --- That's why I now build my own community and don't trust the platform's way. --- Huh? You really think you can get rich just by creating content? Serves you right for being exploited. --- It seems I need to deploy across multiple chains; I can't put all my eggs in one basket.

Over 100 million exposures only earned $4,495? This is the truth of web3, it looks tempting but gets boring after a while --- The ceiling is so hard? Feels like I might as well become a trader --- Another story of being cut by the platform, wake up everyone --- These numbers are indeed disappointing, but the rules are just like that, players all understand --- Popular content ≠ profitable content, this should have been understood long ago --- $4,495 from a different perspective, it's not completely impossible... the problem is the poor cost performance --- The web3 ecosystem is like this, yet still have the nerve to call it decentralized --- Over 100 million exposures but this is the result, how much mental torment does that cause --- Wait, are the platform's revenue sharing rules so outrageous? --- It seems I still need to diversify my income sources, don't rely on a single one

Over 100 million exposures for only 4,495? This number is outrageous. It feels like the platform's revenue ceiling is much lower than expected.

A billion-level exposure only yields 4k? That's really heartless... --- Over a hundred million in traffic for just four thousand dollars, the platform is really bleeding. --- The ceiling is truly a ceiling; just having popularity isn't enough. --- It seems I still need to diversify across multiple chains; don't put all your eggs in one basket. --- That's why I only post casually and don't create serious content. --- Complaining is one thing, but someone is still making money; maybe our methods are wrong. --- No wonder those big influencers are turning to become project founders; the profit sharing is too low. --- Wait, has this guy ever thought about building his own community? --- Getting stuck at 4k is just hilarious... --- So the key is to choose the right platform; this platform itself is just garbage.
