While there's nothing inherently wrong with this, the current state of the social media meta is to purposefully stir up drama and ragebait for clicks. Now aside from just impressions and clout, people will have an actual monetary incentive to do so.

It kinda makes the idiom "any publicity is good publicity" true in a sense.

As your share of our ads revenue in replies, you're receiving $7,036.

Holy shit that’s a lot of money* for spreading hate.

*The tweet doesn’t specify what time frame/window this amount was generated within. Could be the users entire time on the bird site, or for just last week…
