Is your X ad revenue sharing payment smaller than you expected? — If you’re paying a premium hoping that you’ll get paid for your posts, don’t forget that the ‘ad revenue sharing’ is based on views…::The Ads Revenue Sharing program from X pays people who pay for a premium account, but only if the ads attached to their posts receive enough views from other people who also pay for the service formerly known as Twitter.

    Sounds oddly familiar. Just like how the people who make YT videos are constantly trying to exploit the recommendation algorithm, now Xitter users are going to start making more and more viral posts. What could go wrong.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Now that X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has managed to repeatedly send out its ad revenue sharing payments on time without any last-minute delays, engineer Eric Farraro is answering questions from users who still aren’t getting the payments they expect.

    Reasons include: 1) X users only earn ad revenue from other paying X users, 2) advertisers aren’t paying much to reach the demographic that the creator attracts, 3) the posts didn’t get a lot of replies, or 4) their content is not suitable for ads.

    X only issues payments to people who pay for a subscription via X Premium or Verified Organizations (and have a large enough audience to qualify).

    But also, any money paid to those people (from the money that advertisers pay X to show their ads) is based only on views from other people who also pay for a premium or verified account.

    What those funding sources might look like when laid out as a polygonal shape is between you and your relationship with geometry.

    You can purchase a Premium X subscription for as low as $7.99 per month if you’re still interested, and payouts are promised to arrive at a regular cadence if you can generate more than $10.
