X Ends Creator Revenue Sharing, Launches Original Content Rewards Program

X Ends Creator Revenue Sharing, Launches Original Content Rewards ProgramPreviousNext

Elon Musk's social media platform X is ending its Creator Revenue Sharing program on September 7, replacing it with a new Original Content Rewards program focused on original, high-quality posts. Existing creators will receive final payments through mid-September, while the new program requires a premium subscription and significant verified user impressions. The change aims to discourage content copying and engagement farming by rewarding creators who provide unique commentary, analysis, or creative content.
