  • When I worked with an influencer who made free workout vids, his ad revenue was 80% of income. It was an extreme minority from free videos to buying something in his store.

    Then some algorithm change in 2018 broke his entire income, he couldn’t afford me, and last I checked, he was sponsored by diet pills or whatever fake garbage.

    It’s a damn shame because his dream was always to provide free workout vids.





  • Lemmy instances with those same challenges would probably just fold and close up.

    Can confirm. I set up a pixelfed instance for my city with the goal of moving people from Insta to this version. After about three months, user accounts went from 1-10 signups a week to a hundred a week.

    No way did that many business owners sign up. And yep, all spam.

    After a while, my random weekend project in Spring became a full time job. I closed it last month.
