TL;DRX ends revenue sharing September 7, launches Original Content Rewards. Requires Premium sub, 500 verified followers, 500K home timeline views in 90 days. Only original content counts. Existing members must reapply.
X is shutting down its revenue-sharing programme on September 7 and replacing it with a new system called the Original Content Rewards Programme. The change is designed to reward creators who post original work, not people who repost other users’ content with a caption slapped on top. Under the new rules, creators earn money based on “qualified impressions” their original content receives from verified users. X defines original content as a user’s own writing, reporting, photos, videos, memes, or illustrations.
The eligibility bar is high. Creators must be 18 or older, pay for a Premium, Premium+, or Premium Business subscription, have at least 500 verified followers, and have earned at least 500,000 home timeline views from verified users in the past 90 days. Those requirements must be maintained after acceptance, not just met once. If a creator’s numbers drop, payouts stop. Impressions only count if they come from other Premium users, which narrows the audience that matters for monetisation to X’s paying base.
