X swaps Revenue Sharing for "Original Content Rewards"
What happened
X closed Creator Revenue Sharing to new members on Aug 7 and launched Original Content Rewards on Sept 8. Reported eligibility: a Premium tier, 500 verified followers and 500,000 verified-user Home Timeline impressions in 90 days (replies excluded). Pay is based on "qualified impressions" from Premium users on original posts, paid every two weeks.
💰 What it means for creators' moneyReply-farming and reposted clips no longer pay. Original reporting, analysis, your own video and memes do. If X income matters to you, shift effort to original posts.
