Twitter Influencers Are Not Successful - Olamideofficial

A recent post celebrating a TikTok influencer’s purchase of a car and house was met with a snarky comment: “I haven’t heard of Twitter influencers buying even ordinary toothpick.” This comment highlights the rivalry between social media platforms, where success is often measured by material gains. TikTok, with its highly visual content, allows influencers to build large followings quickly, leading to potential financial rewards like brand deals and sponsorships.

However, this comparison is misleading. Twitter influencers often build their platforms around thought leadership, activism, or intellectual conversations that may not always translate into immediate monetary success. While TikTok’s entertainment-driven model is lucrative for some, Twitter’s impact can be seen in shaping opinions and driving societal change, showing that success comes in various forms.
