X ( announced on Twitter ): Double the revenue for creators by 2026, aiming to be the most suitable platform for making a living through content.

X (formerly Twitter) recently announced that 2026 will be positioned as the “Year of Creators,” along with multiple system updates aimed at strengthening creators’ growth momentum and monetization capabilities. The official creator account @XCreators explained that the platform will assist more creators in establishing sustainable income sources through expanding the revenue sharing pool, adjusting payment calculation logic, and other measures.

X Announces Doubling of Creators’ Revenue in 2026

According to @XCreators, X recorded the highest total payout since the monetization program launched at the end of 2025, and this is just the beginning of a new round of reforms. Moving into 2026, the platform’s strategic focus will shift entirely to “empowering creators,” helping them expand influence and increase actual earnings.

Specifically, X first announced that the “revenue sharing pool will be doubled.” As the number of X Premium subscription users continued to grow in 2025, the platform will distribute more subscription revenue more fairly to creators, expected to significantly boost overall payout potential and enable more content creators to profit from platform traffic.

Additionally, X will innovate its revenue calculation method. Future revenue sharing will be based primarily on “Verified Home Timeline impressions,” meaning the actual number of times Premium users see content on their homepage timeline. This indicates that income sources will be more directly linked to genuine viewing behavior, especially rewarding content that frequently appears in timelines and sparks discussion and interaction.

The official also announced that a more comprehensive earnings dashboard will be launched soon in Creator Studio, allowing creators to track relevant data in real-time.

X: Aiming to Be the Platform Most Suitable for Earning Through Content

Regarding content strategy, the platform also revealed plans to adjust the weighting of different content formats. Considering that long-form articles and similar formats require higher production costs and have greater influence than short content, X may give higher revenue weights to such in-depth creations in the future to encourage high-quality, opinionated content production, rather than focusing solely on short-form content.

However, some core mechanisms will remain unchanged. X emphasizes that high-tier Premium users’ views will still hold higher revenue value, and the platform will continue to strengthen detection and punishment of fraud and false interactions to ensure fairness in the overall revenue sharing mechanism.

In conclusion, @XCreators stated: “Our goal is to make X the most suitable platform for earning through content, and this is just the beginning.” The official also urged creators to stay tuned to this account for more upcoming updates and details.
