"By comparison, building a following on Facebook requires converting that following to income outside of Facebook usually which tends to be easier generally for men because of our existing social structure."
I would love to see your data for this. The exact opposite seems true. Booty pics can get you hundreds of thousands of followers. There are women who literally do nothing but vacation and post ass-shots on social media, and they manage to fund their lifestyle this way. They don't actually have any marketable skills.
I've yet to see a single man succeed this way.
PS - I hope you had a chance to look at part 3 of my tax posts, where I broke down your tax liability on your large Facebook ad post.
Yes while it is easy for some to build a following on Facebook and Instagram, the key is that to actually make money off of that following is not so easy and brings in a lot of gender discrimination. With 2 million likes on Facebook, converting those to dollars is not easy. Meanwhile 8,000 followers on Steemit equals around $100 a post!
There's no doubt that Steemit's easy monetization for people's creative work is one of its great strengths.
Just commented on your new tax post now! Great series and in depth analysis regardless of whether I agree with it or not I know others are enjoying it a lot!
There are tons of male models on Instagram who do the exact same thing as the women you're talking about. lol
Which do you think there are more of? Who do you think makes vastly more money?
We both know the answer.
Social media is vastly more used by, and vastly more profitable for, women, all else equal. This is obvious to all who would look.
