X Suspends Account After Low Payout Complaint Amid Monetisation Policy Debate

An X account, reportedly belonging to an Indian woman named Vaishali Pandit, was suspended after publicly complaining about receiving only $30.50 from X's Creator Revenue Sharing program for mid-January to mid-February. X's product head, Nikita Bier, responded sarcastically, suggesting the platform had overpaid, and shared a video showing the account repeatedly posting "Jai Mata Di." The suspension sparked debate about payout fairness and the platform's monetisation policies, which require creators to meet specific engagement and subscription criteria.
