Social Media reactions to Gad Saad's X earnings revelation

Gad Saad 's recent revelation about earning in one year on X what he made in ten years as a YouTuber has sparked a lively debate on social media, with users expressing a range of reactions.

Many others expressed curiosity about the specifics of Saad's earnings. "Let's see the numbers," one user wrote, while another asked, "How many engagements/$$? I want to figure out how it works."

Meanwhile, another user commented, "It would be great to see who is making a lot of money on X and the content they are posting."

One user voiced surprise, stating, "That's surprising. Everyone else I've come across is having it the other way around," suggesting that others have not seen the same level of success on X.

Some users were impressed with X's evolving monetization model. "The YouTube and Ad/Click model seems to have evolved into something new on X. Now, not only are there direct monetization opportunities from X itself, but you can also earn by offering reasonably priced subscriptions for quality content," one comment explained.

In contrast, another user shared their personal experience, saying, "I know the feeling! It was so freeing to leave my company and just solely work by creating content on X."

Finally, one user praised X for its impact on online engagement, writing, "That's incredible! X has truly transformed the way we connect, discuss, and share ideas."
