He was curious to see what would happen if his platform provided a &quot;higher compensation for creators&quot;:Elon Musk@elonmusk@MrBeast Let’s see what happens when Twitter offers good video with higher compensation for creators …449162896@MrBeast Let’s see what happens when Twitter offers good video with higher compensation for creators …MrBeast weighed in on the statement, predicting that higher pay for content creators may be an unrealistic goal. According to the content creator, it will be challenging to implement a monetization system that is better than the one YouTube currently follows. He brought up YouTube's current RPM (Revenue Per Mille) and said:&quot;Higher compensation will be hard, some YouTubers get $20+ RPMs even after YouTube takes their cut.

In exchange, the platform could offer to pay them 10% more than YouTube:Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt.@elonmusk: “My kids were basically educated by Reddit &amp; YouTube; Let’s just get a bunch of content creators that we think are cool on YouTube &amp; say, “Hey, would you consider putting your content on Twitter, &amp; we’ll pay you 10% more than YouTube &amp; see how it goes?” Let’s do that”358732366.@elonmusk: “My kids were basically educated by Reddit &amp; YouTube; Let’s just get a bunch of content creators that we think are cool on YouTube &amp; say, “Hey, would you consider putting your content on Twitter, &amp; we’ll pay you 10% more than YouTube &amp; see how it goes?” Let’s do that”Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt“I actually try to use YouTube as a nonsubscriber to just kind of get a feel for what’s going on with advertising.
