"In 2024, social media #VLOPs submitted their first risk assessments under the #DigitalServicesAct. None of the VLOPs identified #monetization systems as a #systemicrisk."
"Decisions over who is eligible for payment, & what actors & content get financially rewarded, can substantially shape the content that gets created, amplified, and consumed."
Crucial report by @whattofix.tech on how #bigtech's monetization schemes create systemic risks under the #DSA:

@dansup Yes. But it's still something essential... I mean, earning a living. And that makes me think of video content creators like on YouTube.
It's something that's present and needs to be taken into account. For example, on Peertube, I think there's a feature to provide financial support with a redirect link

Odysee presents new AR-based payment system, discontinues Stripe payment and LBC content boosting:
https://odysee.com/@Odysee:8/introducingdecentralizedpaymentsonodyseeforeveryoneeverywhere:7
(Discontinuing LBC support probably means the platform won't be connected to the LBRY blockchain anymore. Also, content discoverability will be hurt pretty much, even if creators can get monetized, smaller creators will have a much harder time being discovered. I get that their new parent company Arweave is probably forcing them to switch to their crypto stuff and ditch LBRY, but it will probably just hurt the platform in the long run, especially because the new payment system requires signing up to an additional service, which many people are not a big fan of.)

Happy people can't be monetized, this is why billionaires and tech companies need to keep you unhappy, angry, or scared. Resist. Be happy.

To the degree possible, #socialmedia should be free from #manipulation by individuals (#scams, #grift), #corporations (#monetization, #profit), computers (#algorithms, "#AI", or governments.
Won't someone please think of those poor unmonetized LinkedIn Business Though Leader Creators !!!!
"While influencers like MrBeast and PewDiePie have built significant operations based on their online traffic, business thought leaders didn’t have the same opportunity to cash in on their followings on LinkedIn."
