X has shut down its revenue-sharing program and replaced it with an Original Content Rewards Program, effective September 7. The new program rewards users who regularly post original content, including writing, photos, videos, and memes. To qualify, users must be 18 or older, live in a supported country, and hold a Premium, Premium+, or Premium Business subscription.

They also need at least 500 verified followers and 500,000 Home timeline views from verified users in the last 90 days. The program requires that original content has meaningful commentary, analysis, or creative editing; simple captions or text overlays on others' content do not count. Users currently on the old revenue-sharing program must reapply starting September 8.

The new program's eligibility rules are not yet fully clear.
