👋💛 Saying "farewell" to the original content creator revenue program. Earned a total of $80,700, incredible. For doing what I enjoy doing most. And for which I never intended to be paid. Thank you, @X , @XCreators, @elonmusk, all my readers and even the haters ;) I'll leave all the data up here:

BREAKING: 𝕏 is now rolling out creator revenue share payments for the last two weeks. 𝕏 will soon replace Revenue Sharing with its Original Content Rewards program. Existing creators will continue earning through Sept. 7, with the final payment expected on or around Sept. 11.

NEWS: 𝕏 has officially launched Creator Connect, a new AI-powered system that matches brands with creators in real time. Using xAI tooling, the platform analyzes campaign goals, audience interests and live trends to connect brands with creators who are actively shaping culture on X. But this goes beyond creator discovery. 𝕏 now manages the full process from outreach and content creation to distribution, while brands keep approval control throughout the campaign. The bigger shift is what this means for creators. Smaller and niche creators may now have a far better chance of being discovered and monetized instead of only the largest influencers dominating brand deals. This launch is also part of X’s broader “Year of the Creator” push, which includes upgraded subscriptions, exclusive content tools and increased creator revenue sharing. 𝕏 is turning into a real-time creator economy platform, not just a social network.

BREAKING: 𝕏 is now rolling out its final Creator Revenue Sharing payout. The program has officially retired. Approved creators who switch to Original Content Rewards will receive their first payout under the new program on September 25.

The Original Content Rewards Program is far better than the old Creator Revenue Sharing Program. Let me explain to you why... Incentive structures matter for a social platform. What you reward is what you will get. For starters... in the old model, the way you qualified was completely the opposite of how you earned. People would spam replies to big accounts to farm 5M impressions for 90 days... Only to learn you then earn primarily based off your own posts. And that is exactly what they were not focusing on that whole time since they were just reply guying to get in. So they'd be frustrated that they qualified but did not earn much once they were in.. Now, you get in by 500,000 verified home timeline impressions from your OWN posts which is exactly how you earn. The old model incentivized small accounts engaging with the same big accounts. Now let's talk about those big accounts... Some of them learned that the way you earned the most is by volume posting and driving engagement (more engagement = more pay) What better way to get engagement than just ripping off proven viral content from other platforms? This is what some of them would do: Spam post multiple times an hour with content that was not theirs from an endless supply of proven viral content. That is what made them the top earners on 𝕏, netting $5 to 20K+ bi-weekly off of unoriginal content that they did not own. Incentivizing original content and not just gaming of the system is clearly a net positive for the platform. It will also improve our timelines to where we don't just see the same stuff over and over. What are your thoughts?
