X Ends Revenue Sharing, Moves Creators to Original Content Rewards
X is shifting from ad-revenue-based payouts to a system that combines impression evaluation with a review of whether content counts as original, a structural change in how creators earn on the platform.

X is phasing out its creator monetization program Revenue Sharing and moving to a new system called the Original Content Rewards Program. New registrations for the old program ended on the announcement day, and existing participants can earn through September 7. The new program opens applications to existing users on September 8, with payments issued every two weeks.
X announced the transition through its official XCreators account, describing the new program as a way to reward creators who bring original ideas, expertise, reporting, creativity, and commentary to the platform.
Existing Revenue Sharing participants will receive their final payments in three installments. The first two follow the normal schedule on August 14 and August 28, and earnings accrued through September 7 are due around September 11.
Applications for the new program open to current participants on September 8 through the Creator Studio. Accounts that already completed ID verification and payment registration do not need to re-register, but accounts previously suspended for policy violations are excluded.
