Meta's attempt to lure creators to its platforms comes as questions remain over the future of its main rival in the US.

Social media giant Meta has offered to pay up to $5,000 (£4,040) to popular creators in the United States who join Facebook and Instagram.

It says those joining from “third-party social apps” will get cash based on “an evaluation of your social presence”.

Though it does not mention TikTok by name, the timing would suggest Meta is attempting to capitalise on the uncertainty surrounding its rival, as questions swirl about whether President Trump can find a way of preserving it for US users

    It’s so strange. When they released reels it was really bad. It just kept force feeding me altright bs and conspiracy theories. Then one day it fed me exactly what I wanted to see and it was like a whole day of just interesting informative content every time I pop back to it I thought oh that’s kind of nice having alternatives is good.

    And then it would just flip back and forth randomly. On a given day I’d either get nothing I wanted to see or I would get a bunch of great content.

      Yea id either get what I wanted to see which was essentially just shit posting and wood working videos or, more usually the case, it would be nothing but Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan and half baked conspiracy videos taking about DEW and wildfires.
