Nas Daily, better known as Nuseir Yassin, is a popular content creator who has millions of followers on various social media platforms. In March alone, he generated 606 million views, but earned only $33,000 in social media ad revenue, excluding Snapchat. Nas Daily also mentioned that he earned $0 from Instagram and TikTok, $100 for 10 million views on YouTube Shorts and $0 from Facebook Reels.
Nas Daily's comments highlight a common issue among content creators on social media platforms, namely the lack of fair compensation for their work. The content creators of social media platforms receive a small portion of the revenue, despite the fact that their content is what draws users to the platform in the first place.
Nas Daily stated in his tweet that social media platforms are designed for users, not creators, and that this needs to change. He said on Twitter: Most of the YouTubers are secretly broke. In March, Nas Daily had 606,000, 000 views. Here is the problem. Nas Daily generated $33,000 in social media ad revenue, excluding Snapchat. No one should reach 606,000, 000 people and generate only $33,000 in value, he said.
Nas Daily has sparked a larger conversation about the role of content creators on social media platforms and the need for more equitable revenue sharing models.
