Twitter tended to show ads on videos and share profits with publishers, in a move to compete against YouTube.
The same policy, Facebook decided to adopt and start now with a number of publishers in the United States of America, while it is expected that this possibility will be launched for everyone in the future.
This means that video makers and publishers can profit through the video industry, and therefore will not only rely on YouTube, but also publish on Twitter, Facebook and other platforms, thereby increasing their revenue.

This phenomenon is very growing in the World Wide Web, where companies and brands tend to invest in social networking ads, including exploiting the popularity of these platforms’ celebrities.
Snapchat, Instagram, and even Facebook and Twitter are the most popular platforms for celebrities and brands to promote from time to time.

Many owners of public and entertainment pages on social platforms promote other pages, including their competitors for a fee.
They offer promotions to other social pages on microservices platforms, and they also receive offers via private messages.
10- Selling pages and social accounts
It is a profitable method that has imposed itself in recent years, especially since there is a large base of business owners and individuals who want to obtain ready-made accounts and pages that have a large number of fans and interactors.
