X just changed the game for creators. Here is what I learn after spent hours reading every post from Nikita Bier.

So Read carefully.
DO THIS:
🟢 Post original content with your own voice and analysis.
🟢 Original authors now get a portion of revenue directly.
🟢 Make talking videos on X.
🟢 Even with zero followers a good video can hit millions of impressions.
🟢 Write original articles and commentary that adds new value.
STOP DOING THIS:
🔴 Copy pasting other people's posts without your own analysis. Aggregator payouts just cut to 60%. Another 20% cut is coming next cycle.
🔴 Using BREAKING on every single post. X is adding permanent payout deductions for habitual bait posters.
🔴 Reposting from third party networks. Up to 90% deduction on impressions. Automatic. No warning.
🔴 Stealing content and just crediting the original at the bottom. X sees it. X penalises it.
🔴 Flooding the timeline with 100 reposts daily. It kills new creator growth and now kills your revenue too.
🔴Don’t complain too much — the more you complain, the more the team focuses on fixing the vulnerability you’re exploiting.
One more thing I noticed reading between the lines.
X is quietly experimenting with a lot more in the background. They are building tools to identify original authors. Rewarding real creators. Penalising shortcuts.
This is not a one time update. This is a complete redesign of how the platform thinks about content.
So if you are a real creator doing original work do not be discouraged by the noise. X is actually building this place for you.
The message is loud and clear: Bring something new to the platform or get deprioritized.
Feel Free to correct me and add further points.
