Social Bid Launches X Sponsorship Auction Where Creators Keep 80%, Top Bid Sits at $22
alexmacgregor__ · x · 2026-09-03
- New platform Social Bid lets X users list their profiles for brands to bid on sponsorships, with creators keeping 80%. Rankings are ordered purely by actual sponsorship payments—no weighting or boosting.
- Current leaderboard: founder Alex MacGregor's own account tops it at a $22 sponsorship value (sponsored by Social Bid itself), #2 @yogesharc was sponsored by Launch for $10, and all other listings start at $10, mostly unsponsored.
- Within about a day, over ten accounts entered the market with a handful of real transactions—tiny scale, more an early-stage experiment than a proven marketplace.
