"X is updating its revenue-sharing incentives to give more weight to engagement from a user's home region, encouraging content that resonates with people in their country and neighboring countries."
"Dozens of popular accounts tweeting pro-Trump sentiments were revealed to be based outside the US, misleading users and garnering millions of likes and views."
"X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world, according to Nikita Bier, the company's Head of Product."
"Bier suggested that users in countries with fewer users should write about their day-to-day experiences, emphasizing that while US politics can be discussed, money won't be sent overseas for that content."
X is implementing a new revenue-sharing policy that emphasizes user engagement from their home regions. This change aims to promote content that resonates locally and disincentivizes foreign accounts from influencing US politics. Many pro-Trump accounts were found to be based outside the US, misleading users about their origins. The company hopes to create a richer community with relevant posts globally. The new policy will take effect on March 26, encouraging users to share local experiences instead of focusing solely on US politics.
