New "Monetization" tab is also included in X so that X Premium subscribers, who are looking to make money inside the app, can track their performance across X's shifting income elements.
X Premium subscribers can now see a new "Monetization" in their in-app menu view. Tapping on that sends you through to a list of X's different paths to monetization, and there you will also see an estimate of your outstanding payout for the current period.
the listing will also give you access to additional information on X's programs of monetization, which are to be built on over time.
It could be a convenient way to keep track of your X payouts, and perhaps address any issues before the payout date.
Which is especially useful considering how many creators have recently become guilty of breaking X's monetization rules in recent months, cutting off an increasingly large number of smaller creators-chiefly-from cashing out in X's programs.
One of the challenges that most X creators face regarding Community Notes is the fact that they lose monetization for their content if a post gets Community Noted, and seemingly, it has been used as some kind of tool to help block others from getting their payouts in the app; which, theoretically, ought not be easy for it to be displayed without a consensus from people of conflicting political perspectives. But as X continues perfecting the Notes process, it seems some have managed to weaponize the system to varying ends.
And then there are other cases, wherein creators are losing their access to monetization for reasons that seem utterly without any reason.
Revenue share programs of X are still at their nascent stage, so there are going to be some issues in the process, but countless creators have managed to receive big payouts from the app and effectively enabled people to make money for their X posts.
Which is something that never existed in the past; so while not perfect, X is enabling more opportunity than ever before, luring more creators to the app.
And as X further homes in on video content per se, it will be eyeing also to tempt the cream of the crop in the video space, too. In order for that to happen, X has recently extended its "Amplify" premium content placement option for high-profile creators so that these creators will make another dollar through the uploads in the app.
Together, X is enabling more opportunity and this new tracking feature should also enable creators to track as well as maximize their X payouts.
