What did they do?
X replaced Creator Revenue Sharing with Original Content Rewards in September 2026. As reported by Engadget, you need to be 18+, in an eligible country, on Premium, Premium+ or Premium Business, with at least 500 verified followers and 500,000 Home timeline views from verified users in the last 90 days, and keep meeting these after acceptance.

Payouts are based on qualified impressions on original content. The old program required 5M impressions in 3 months and 500 verified followers (Search Engine Land).
What tools do you need?
X Premium (subscription required for x creator payouts).
How much does it cost?
X Premium is paid or trial-based. Check each tool's site for current prices.
