Question for the X creators: Is replying 400 times a day really worth it? 👀
Let’s do the math:
• 400 replies/day = 6/7 hours of work
• 30 days/month, including weekends
• That’s 200 hours/month
• McDonald’s pays around $13–$15/hour
• That’s $2,600–$3,000/month
• Many monetized X creators reportedly earn just $200–$500/month
Unless you’re building a real audience or business, flipping burgers might actually offer a better ROI. 🍔😂
Don’t get me wrong, I still love it here on X! 👻
Just wondering if I’m missing something?
