X will pay ad revenue share to more Twitter Blue creators if they hit 5 million impressions

In an effort to broaden its revenue-sharing initiatives, 'X,' the social media platform spearheaded by Elon Musk (formerly known as Twitter), has introduced significant changes to its ads revenue program.

The criteria determining eligibility for ads revenue sharing have undergone revision, most notably in the reduction of the minimum impressions threshold from 15 million to 5 million within the last three months, among other modifications.

This tech giant aspires to establish an all-encompassing "everything app" that seamlessly integrates messaging, entertainment, banking, and more.

Now, even more people can get paid to post!

We’ve lowered the eligibility threshold for ads revenue sharing from 15M to 5M impressions within the last 3 months. We’ve also lowered the minimum payout threshold from $50 to $10.

Expanding revenue sharing opportunities

• X has also taken strides to democratize earning potential for creators by significantly lowering the minimum impressions threshold from 15 million to 5 million impressions accumulated over a three-month period.
• Additionally, X has opted to decrease the minimum payout threshold from $50 to a mere $10, ensuring that creators can conveniently access their earnings without hassle.
• In conjunction with these adjustments, maintaining a follower count of at least 500 on X is now a mandatory prerequisite for availing oneself of the monetization benefits.

X Premium free for high-engagement accounts

• Accounts generating over 5 million views will now be granted complimentary access to X Premium, previously referred to as Twitter Blue.
• To prevent authenticity abuse by scammers, these views will exclusively be tallied from verified handles.
• This strategic measure is designed to thwart the artificial inflation of views through the use of bots, preserving the integrity of the platform's engagement metrics.

This essentially means that X Premium (fka Twitter Blue) is free for accounts that generate above 5M views.

Note, only views from verified handles count, as scammers will otherwise use bots to spam views to infinity. https://t.co/87MqqyUu2E
