X Monetization Changes & Updates
The key 2026 changes creators should know, including the retirement of Creator Revenue Sharing and the transition to Original Content Rewards.
TIMELINE
September 2026 transition
Revenue Sharing earnings end
Existing participants continue earning through this date under the old program.
Original Content Rewards rollout begins
X says existing Revenue Sharing members will begin getting access to apply for the new program.
WHAT CHANGED
What changes with Original Content Rewards
The new program shifts the center of attention toward qualified impressions generated by original content. X defines qualified impressions as unique Premium-user impressions on the Home Timeline where at least half the post is visible. Duplicate impressions from the same account on the same post, paid/promoted impressions, artificial impressions and fraudulent impressions are excluded.
Creators should also note the originality rules. Copied, minimally modified, aggregated and untransformed cross-platform reposts do not qualify. X can also make accounts or content ineligible for policy, integrity or content reasons.
THE CONSTANT
What has not changed
Monetization remains conditional. An active eligible subscription, audience thresholds, account standing, payout setup, original content and continuing compliance still matter. There is still no responsible basis for promising that a particular account will be approved or earn a fixed amount.
