X will start paying users to interact with other people's posts
Elon Musk seems unsure how to bring X back to the prominence it once had. The new policies that have been incorporated into the platform don’t seem to be working, and while the logical thing to do would be to go back to the old model, the changes are ongoing. In the past few hours, it has been learned that X will start paying Premium users to interact with others.
Creators! We’re excited to unveil our biggest update to Creator Revenue Sharing yet.
— X (@X) October 9, 2024
Payouts are increasing and you'll now be paid based on engagement with your content from Premium users - not ads in replies.
Here’s what’s changing:
X's business model is uncertain, but what is known is that Premium users receive payments from the platform in relation to the number of ads displayed in responses to their posts, turning X into a place where information has lost its relevance and what is required is constant feedback.
The news of this X monetization was revealed through a post on the company’s official profile within the social network. What this statement indicates is that all alleged X content creators will face a change in the monetization of the platform.
The main new features and changes are:
- Payments are increasing and you will now be paid based on engagement with your content from Premium users.
- Ads in replies will no longer affect your payment.
- Premium users' interactions will be eligible for payments.
- When your followers subscribe to X Premium and engage with your content, they are directly supporting you.
These changes will completely impact the operation of X, and now Premium users will have the ability to get more money from the platform simply by interacting.
The social network is in decline, Elon Musk knows it and this seems to be his last shot to keep the social network relevant. Now, only the future holds the answers, and the only thing that can be done is to keep a close eye on its development.
