Gate 2025 Year-End Community Gala: "The era of mindless posting is over, and the era of X creation has officially begun."

Brother Qiang's in-depth analysis of the latest policies on the X platform for 2026
X has increased creators' income, with many crypto KOLs earning over $3,000 in "creation revenue" in two weeks 💲
The phase of "spamming," "mutual aid," or posting nonsense to exploit the system is gone.
As Elon Musk announced 2026 as the "Creator's Year One," X's algorithm has undergone a devastating "reshuffle," but it has also opened the door to high earnings for genuine creators.
How can we earn the high salaries from "Daddy Ma" in this wave of dividends?
1. X's Underlying Intent: Shifting from "Interaction" to "Value Display"
Previously, your earnings depended on the number of ads shown in reply sections; now, X has completely changed.
1. Home Timeline is the Only Battlefield
Now, earnings are no longer based on how many people argue in your reply section, but on the actual view count of your posts seen by verified high-level users on the homepage feed.
• Implication: The platform hopes you appear in users' "For You" recommendations, rather than lurking under others' big posts to gain visibility.
2. Content "Class Differentiation"
X officials have explicitly stated that **Articles** and other long-form content will be weighted more heavily than short-form content.
• Intent: X is transforming from a "fragmented news site" into a "deep content community." Musk aims to compete with Substack and YouTube.
3. "Gold Content" Determines Earnings
Premium members' (Premium / Premium+) views are worth much more than those of regular users.
• Interpretation: You don't need to attract everyone; you only need to attract those who have paid. The more hardcore and high-net-worth your content is, the higher your unit price.
2. How Creators Can Improve Their "Posture" to Achieve Explosive Profits
Since the rules have changed, players' strategies must evolve as well. Want to earn $3,000? You need to do these three things:
1. Transform from "Blogger" to "Author"
Stop posting those two-line emotional comments. Use X's Articles feature.
• Practical tip: If you're in the crypto/Web3 space, don't just post "Why rush," but post in-depth logic explaining "Why rush." Deep long articles not only earn higher weightings but also help you win over high-level members through logical persuasion, increasing your "high-value display frequency."
2. Embrace the "Homepage Algorithm," not the "Reply Algorithm"
In the past, it was popular to "ride the traffic" under trending posts; now, this behavior almost yields no revenue.
• Practical tip: Your tweets must be self-sufficient. Start with a hook, paired with high-quality images or videos. If your content can keep users on the homepage for more than 5 seconds, the system will consider it "high-value content" and push it to more Premium users.
3. Build "Authentic Personal Traits"
X is moving toward
