SA reacts to MacG’s Podcast and Chill’s advertising prices leak
In the comments, social media users shared mixed reactions. While some debated the prices, others gave MacG advice.
Here are some of the comments:
@warrenbeats said:
“😭That's a waste of money. The best option is to spend like R300-3000 per month via the Google Ads platform, put ads on their channel, and you would get like 50k-60k views depending on how often your ads are shown.”
@News_Engage remarked:
“If brands are paying R250k, it means the audience is worth it. The market decides, not Twitter.”
@Spacewa11514285 said:
“By counting live, read and animated posters alone. He's making over R1.5 million a month. If we include all other categories. He’s probably making close to R7 million a month.”
@MegaFunTweets asked:
“If they are charging R250K for OB, how much do radios like Y and Kaya charge for OBs?”
@MtlokwaR questioned:
“Who leaked this? It's unreal, man, it's like disclosing someone's salary.”
@Lungelozungu20 said:
“People should mind their own business and stop gaslighting other people with SARS.”
