Anecdotal and not super pertinent, but joke Twitter accounts can absolutely net $10,000 a week. There are glorified bots (think something along the lines of @MensHumor or @YaBoyBillNye) with hundreds of thousands of followers that sell advertising (either external links or 'sponsored' tweets) . It's an entire bizarre community that profits massively off of retweet-happy teens.
