Elon Musk's X cuts payments to users who post clickbait
"Nikita Bier stated that aggregators had their payouts reduced by 60% and that total will be reduced by a further 20%. He emphasized that flooding the timeline with 100 stolen reposts and clickbait every day crowded out real creators and hurt new author growth."
"Bier added that a permanent deduction in payments will be imposed on people who use BREAKING on every post on X. He clarified that X will never infringe on speech or reach but will not compensate for manipulation of the programme or our users."
"Dominick McGee, a rightwing influencer, reported being demonetized without insight, despite having a significant following. He shared a message from X indicating removal from the creator revenue sharing programme due to violations of monetisation standards."
X has implemented a reduction in payments for users who engage in posting clickbait and recycled news stories. Nikita Bier, X's head of product, announced that aggregators would see a 60% reduction in their earnings from the creator revenue sharing program, with an additional 20% cut forthcoming. This decision aims to combat the negative impact of low-quality content on the platform. Users who misuse terms like BREAKING in their posts will face permanent payment deductions. The changes follow complaints from influencers about sudden demonetization.
