X updates creator payouts for this cycle

They announced that they are testing new tools to better identify who actually created original content, and will start giving a portion of the revenue directly to those creators X says reposts and commentary will still be an important part of the platform, but the goal now is to reward people who create original, high-quality content that adds real value to the timeline

In simple terms, they want to pay the people who make the content, not just the accounts that help it go viral

The company says this change will help improve the overall quality of content on X and that the revenue-sharing program will continue to evolve to encourage creators to post their best work.
