X Product Owner: Creator revenue is now based solely on Home timeline views; replies are no longer included in the revenue calculation

BlockBeats News, January 19, X Product Lead and Solana Ecosystem Advisor Nikita Bier responded to a user's question about "X's own creator incentive mechanism has destroyed the quality of replies to popular tweets, blaming the issue of bots and spam content on the InfoFi platform" by stating, "No. Replies are no longer included in the creator's income calculation. Only the view count of the Home Timeline is counted."

The official X creator account @XCreators posted on January 17, announcing an update to the income sharing calculation method. Income sharing will now be based on verified users' view counts on the Home Timeline, meaning earnings will depend on how many times Premium users on their home feed actually see the content. This adjustment aims to reward truly resonant content: posts that can consistently appear on the timeline and spark discussions.
