Paige Spiranac has hit back at critics of her decision to create a Passes account. She called Passes a smart business move, stating that it allowed her to create freely and earn revenue outside of advertisements.
Spiranac is one of the most popular influencers today, often posting golf content on her Instagram account, which boasts over 4 million followers. She also has a strong following on X, TikTok, and YouTube. Recently, she transitioned from her website OnlyPaige to a Passes account. However, this move drew criticism from some.
On Tuesday, December 10, Paige Spiranac took to X to address her critics.”I see a lot of people trying to put me down because of my Passes account,” she wrote. “Most media platforms use a subscription based model. All creators should have a subscription site and most do whether that’s on X, IG, Passes or other sites. It’s a way to freely be creative, connect with your community, and have a revenue stream outside of the core platforms or constantly doing ads. It’s a smart business move.
