Creator Economy Gets a Boost: X Raises Payout Rates

X just announced enhanced creator compensation—a significant move in the competitive race for Web3 talent and creator retention. The platform is ramping up payouts to incentivize content creation across its ecosystem.

This shift reflects a broader industry trend: platforms recognizing that sustainable creator earnings drive engagement and ecosystem growth. With decentralized alternatives and token-based rewards gaining traction, traditional platforms are adapting their monetization models to stay competitive.

For creators? More earning potential means stronger incentives to produce quality content. For the Web3 space? It's another indicator that creator economy mechanics are reshaping how platforms structure value distribution.

Here comes the harvest again. Do you really think increasing the revenue share will keep people around?

Another platform is starting to compete in creator payouts, really? I actually want to see where this money is being siphoned from...

ngl, higher payouts sound nice on paper but where's the actual contract code? need to see the fine print before getting hyped—these platforms always hide the exploit vectors in the terms.
