Why Facebook Is Terrified of This Virtually Unknown Competitor TSU

Tsu has 4.2 million users, while Facebook has over 1.65 billion. Yet the social networking Giant has apparently stopped allowing Tsu users to post items to Facebook and has removed all historical posts and links referring to the site.

On September 25, users of social network site TSU discovered that they could no longer post items to Facebook or Instagram mentioning the URL "Tsu.co". TSU users and employees reported these blocks to Facebook and Instagram. TSU users commented across the platform that there was an issue.

A few days later the TSU api to Facebook was shut down. Error messages referred to the fact that the content was deemed to be malicious

In today's technology landscape there is no bigger dog than Facebook.Mark Zukerberg has built an huge empire that if he thinks your little startup business can create him problems he simply buys you up. And that what happened to whatsapp and instagram. But what if you have a really good concept and your startup is going really well  and you have millions of user all around the globe  and has the potential to be a game changer and you are not for sale.Then king Mark simply blocks you if he cannot buy you and that is what exactly happened to TSU .

What would you do if you came in a situation where TSU came? How would you let know the world that you were being blocked by Facebook ? You cannot post in instagram since it was already bought out by Facebook . You can not do it in Twitter because your pilight will be burried by ten of thousands of Kim Kardashian retweets in a second.

Facebook  is the primary source of communication over 1.5 billions people. So the simple act of preventing its user from linking to anything having to do with your site will push you in the dark.

That’s exactly what’s happening to over 4.5 million users of TSU   , whose founders believe users should be compensated for the content they create. 

This revenue stream comes from not only your page but from your network of users, i.e., friends you’ve invited to join and friends they’ve invited and the circles you have created.

Think about all friends you told to join Facebook at the beginning. The posts you’ve shared, all the pages you’ve liked, and all the groups you’ve joined/started since creating your Facebook profile. Now, imagine how much revenue you’ve generated for Facebook. Now imagine how much you could have generated for yourself. Revenue that, with just a click of a mouse on TSU , could be shared with the charity of your choice. No personal bank info needed.

 The site keeps 10% of ad revenue which is derived through third party ads, partnerships and sponsors and shares the other 90% with its users. Pretty neat, huh?

A lot of musicians, artists, photographers, comedians, etc., who would probably agree. In fact, there are folks earning more from posting on TSU than they do from their music streams.

When I tried linking to TSU on Facebook, I immediately got a warning saying it was an “unsafe link.”

Meanwhile, it’s still no problem to post links to most porn sites.

Before you go running to Tsu.co in an attempt to sign up, be aware that the site is by invite only. This will hopefully keep most of the yokels off, as well as making each ad placement in the U.S. more valuable to overseas advertisers, thus, generating more revenue for the content creator.And the minimum payout is $100.

Also, some users have complained that they did not receive pay outs when they reached the pay-out minimum of $100. Popular users on Tsu can earn over $100 per day, but the majority of users make only a few cents from ad revenue.
