Twitter Ad Revenue For Users, Like Elon Musk himself, Is Mostly BS

Elon Musk said that content creators on X, formerly known as Twitter, have to be premium subscribers to be eligible for its new ads revenue-sharing program.

“The ad money will otherwise be kept by X if you are not an X Premium (Blue) subscriber,” Musk said in a post.

To be eligible for the program, creators also need to be at least 18 years old, have a minimum of 500 followers, and have 15 million or more “organic impressions” on posts within the last three months.

Some users who may qualify for ad revenue, by stated terms, still do not get ad revenue because their accounts may piss advertisers off.

For the average user, to get 5 million impressions, you pretty much would need to not only subscribe to twitter blue but also advertise on twitter. It is kind of like the amazon racket of having to advertise on amazon to sell your eBooks.

I am currently on a twitter break.
