  Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people

  one idea for nikita - as paying user, can I filter out all the accounts that make money from content on twitter?🙃

  Terrible for me because my audience is mostly US But I am always outside US, like now Brazil, and other times Portugal or Thailand This isn't great for digital nomads

  I'm based in France, but 43% of my audience is American. I know many of us are in the same situation. To reach a wider audience, all my posts are in English, the international language. Those who cause trouble may be punished, but with this change, which will significantly [image…

  X was going to change their monetization program to emphasize local content, for example if content is about U.S. politics to get paid it would need to be from the U.S. or a neighbor. Then Elon realized all of MAGA is based in Nigeria, Pakistan and Eastern Europe. [image]

  @dvorahfr We will pause moving forward with this until further consideration

  @0x45o I simulated the impact based on your last payout: Your payout would've been +96.53% higher, due to your large EU audience

• @nikitabier Nikita Bier on x

  @forgebitz Out of curiosity, I simulated the impact based on last payout: Your payout would've been +168% higher Our regional bucketing aims to be very large and includes all of Western Europe.

  I like how this implies that Japanese twitter also didn't like the surge of third world slop countries on the site. America's greatest ally.

  Why not just make it so that revenue sharing isn't available for certain types of content: Politics Gambling Alcohol Etc

  This is what happens when you surround yourself with an echo chamber of yes men who don't push back.  Constant reversals.  [embedded post]

  @jonatanpallesen For a random person signing up in France: Their very first timeline will likely include Trump ragebait and Silicon Valley chatter. We can't continue to incentivize the same kind of posts forever—and not try to expand our inventory. The network will never grow. It…

• @ianmiles Ian Miles Cheong on x

  I've said repeatedly that X should just terminate the revenue structure to disincentivize fake news slop directed at Americans, so this is a positive change for the app. I've been posting for free on this platform long before it did payouts and I'd love to see it go back to that.
