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?
Just got my first Original Content Reward payout 🥳
The best part: it's deposited straight into @xmoney, which earns 6% yield 🤯
Gotta start shitposting more 😂
I joined the 'Original Content Rewards' program in just 10 days.
I've been waiting for a long time, and I'm so happy to hear this news!
Let's create various original contents. In that case, I should go back to Austin this year first! 🤠
Anybody applied for the Original Content Rewards program yet?
They ask you to pick 10 posts that best represent your original content but miss out all of my recent popular SEO content and just show my boring announcements or shit posts.
I picked the best of a bad bunch 🤞
