[VERGE] Is your X ad revenue sharing payment smaller than you expected?
An X engineer responds to people surprised by how hard it is to get paid to post.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Now that X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, has managed to repeatedly send out its ad revenue sharing payments on time without any last-minute delays, engineer Eric Farraro is answering questions from users who still aren’t getting the payments they expect.
Reasons include: 1) X users only earn ad revenue from other paying X users, 2) advertisers aren’t paying much to reach the demographic that the creator attracts, 3) the posts didn’t get a lot of replies, or 4) their content is not suitable for ads.
X only issues payments to people who pay for a subscription via X Premium or Verified Organizations (and have a large enough audience to qualify).
But also, any money paid to those people (from the money that advertisers pay X to show their ads) is based only on views from other people who also pay for a premium or verified account.
What those funding sources might look like when laid out as a polygonal shape is between you and your relationship with geometry.
You can purchase a Premium X subscription for as low as $7.99 per month if you’re still interested, and payouts are promised to arrive at a regular cadence if you can generate more than $10.
