Monetisation on X (formerly Twitter) was going well with people, especially Nigerians, until Facebook decided to add monetisation, and that was when the world lost it. Maybe TikTok is worse—I don’t do TikTok, I’m more conversant with Facebook because that’s where I get my up-to-date info.
Disclaimer: The next paragraph is never intended to body shame
There’s a couple who—due to content monetisation—have turned to something else entirely. The woman, who has a very bad and unpleasant body, with her stomach and lap looking so wrinkled and blackened as a result of the effect of bleaching cream applied, would make videos of herself in just panties and a bra, dancing. Guys! The scene is always disgusting to the extent that I had to restrict my account to stop seeing such posts. The husband, who’s supposed to be ashamed of what his wife is doing, will also wear just a pant and join her in disgracing themselves.
“Don’t the man and woman have a family to call them to order?”
This is what everyone asks all the time.
Mehn, the length people are going for the sake of earning on social media is really crazy.
Honestly, I’m very much okay with people putting out fake news just to generate engagement, but the awful content such as the one I explained above is something else.
I had a friend—maybe we are still friends, I don’t know—who was, and still is, following the trend of dressing half-naked online just to gain engagement.
Hold on,
Haven’t you come across ladies who post videos of themselves dressing in their rooms with all manners of exposure? Or the ones who just post half-naked videos without even a written caption? They just want the world to see them and maybe market their services as well. When I told this friend of mine to reduce her “doings” on social media because it was sending a wrong signal, she laughed it off and said it was a trend.
Do you know the craziest thing? She hasn’t even gotten her account monetised yet; she’s just following trends, maybe to gain followers to enable her monetisation.
Unfortunately, social media doesn’t care about what’s put out as content as long as it’s not violating their laws, which are simply centred on banning gory scenes and real explicit things (s3x). This is why people are not bothered about putting up so-so deep and irrelevant videos just to get traffic and earn big.
Also, as much as I frown at some posts, I also love to watch some of those videos I criticise, especially to read the criticisms in the comments and laugh out loud. And that’s applicable to a lot of people out there. The posts I frown at are the ones a lot of people like to read and watch, and in fact, most of them get a very large number of views.
Thanks for reading.

Is just so disheartening and disgusting the lots of drama and meaningless displays we see these days because of monetization. As they term it, the more rubbish the content is, the more people gets to talk, thus giving them the engagement they are looking for.
Lots of creators have lost morals all because of the reward that comes with monetization. But the good thing reminds, we always have the choice to choose for ourselves what we want to watch and restrict what we dislike. Well done👍, you nailed it.
Asweeeaar!
If these social apps allowed for a real explicit contents, people would do it without hesitation. And it makes me wonder a lot if the don't have any family member at all.
If I ever think of going awire, my family manners go call meeting asap 😂
That's what family that understand what value means.
Yes, sometimes women forget their self-respect and honor for the sake of monetization by creating bad content.
It's so bad!
While the monetization is good, the way it is making rubbishes to be seen as a norm, is very appalling
It is strange how things we used to consider abnormal in those days, slowly they are being normalised. The world of monetisation has made the internet a very dreadful place, all sort of unpleasant contents are now being applauded and from what I'm seeing, it will only get worse.
That's it, the abnormal lifestyle is now seen as latest way of life. Funny, you can't even advice the people involved to stop ... they'll shun you with their earnings 😂
Exactly oo
When those that do abnormal things earn more than those that do normal things 😅
I know the woman you are referring to and when I was writing my own blog she came to my mind. Indeed I concluded by saying their foolishness will not stand the test of time. See you already restricting their content from popping up it starts from just one person till it progresses to several others.
Asweeeaar!
I can stand the sight of other contests but theirs? No way!
The thought and imagination of the scene is always make me want to puke😭
😂🤣🤲🏿 God abeg 😂
