The X Creator Pay Reset

X is replacing its Revenue Sharing program with Original Content Rewards. The old program closes after Sept. 7; existing members can apply to the new program from Sept. 8. Eligibility includes a paid X tier, 500 verified followers and 500,000 verified-user Home Timeline impressions in the prior 90 days. X says qualified impressions must come from unique Premium users and that copied or lightly edited content does not qualify. 12

The immediate argument is over the gate, not whether the announcement exists. XCreators' official post showed 9,800,695 views, 4,817 quotes and 2,268 replies at capture; XBusiness' Aug. 10 post showed 46,772 views, 521 likes and 67 replies. Those are snapshots, not platform-wide rankings. 34

The X sample is illustrative, not a poll: one creator reads the change as a higher bar, one posts a plain explainer, and one celebrates an approval. 567
