X is retiring Creator Revenue Sharing, which has paid people to post since 2023, and replacing it with the Original Content Rewards Program. What gets paidEarnings come from qualified impressions: unique views of your original post by an X Premium Basic, Premium, Premium+ or Premium Business subscriber, in the Home Timeline feed, with at least half the post visible. SpaceX’s May 2026 IPO prospectus put X Premium and Premium+ at about 4.4 million subscribers against roughly 550 million monthly users, which Andrew Hutchinson at Social Media Today worked out as under 1% of users. If you earn from X, open Creator Studio and check your eligibility now rather than in September. The number that decides everything is 500,000 verified Home Timeline impressions over 90 days, and replies no longer feed it.
