Revenue Share is gone.
This time the bar is higher than most people think.
You need 500K Home Timeline impressions from verified users every 90 days, your account gets manually reviewed, and X decides whether your content would have value without you in it. That last part is the one that will disqualify most people.
X is no longer paying for reach but for authorship.
most creators monetizing on volume and aggregation won’t survive this transition & the ones who do are already running a system: consistent original publishing, multi-platform distribution, enough output to hold 500K impressions per quarter without gaming it.
Revenue Share ends September 7th. Applications for the new program open September 8th.
If you’re trying to figure out what this means for your content operation, feel free to ask.
