Yeah, my momma raised me and showed me love no matter how many times I got in trouble, no matter how many fights I was in, or whatever else I did. The love of a mother is the most precious love on earth. Nothing compares to a mother’s heart when it comes to her children. A mother’s love will carry you through the rest of your life. It’s heartfelt, full of warmth, and the tender, gentle care she gives is unmatched. A Mother’s Love 🏆💐🌹🌹

X makes money off your Premium/Premium+ subscription… then uses part of that money to pay creators through engagement-based revenue sharing.
But here’s the frustrating part: You’re effectively paying the creators directly — not X footing the bill from its own pocket. Meanwhile, X pauses or withholds countless creators’ payouts (often with little clear explanation), keeps the subscription revenue flowing in, and maximizes its own profits.
It’s like a bank taking your deposits, lending them out for interest, but freezing your withdrawals whenever it suits them.
Many creators are stuck with paused payouts right now while X thrives on Premium subs. If you’re Premium or Premium+, read the Creator Revenue Sharing terms and monetization standards yourself. The truth is there.
Share this if it resonates. Let’s push for more transparency on payouts and appeals. Creators deserve better accountability. • X primarily makes money by selling ads that appear in users’ feeds, replies, and other places. Advertisers pay based on impressions (views), clicks, engagements, etc.
• User activity (scrolling, posting, engaging) generates these impressions and data that X uses to attract and price ads for sponsors. Higher user numbers, engagement, and time spent on the platform = stronger pitch to advertisers (“We have hundreds of millions of active users who see your ads”).
• Estimates for recent years: Ad revenue around $1.7–2.26 billion annually (recovering but still below pre-2022 peaks). It makes up the majority of total revenue (often ~60-70%).
• Your bank analogy fits well here: Just as banks use customer deposits as a base to make loans and earn interest, X uses its user base and activity metrics as a foundation to sell ad inventory and data licensing deals.
2. X Premium Subscriptions (Growing Fast, Directly Funds Creator Payouts)
• Users pay for Premium (Basic ~$3/mo, Premium ~$8/mo, Premium+ higher) for perks like verification, fewer ads, longer posts, edit button, Grok access, reply boosts, etc.
• As of early 2026: ~4.4 million X Premium subscribers (plus more for Grok), with subscription revenue approaching ~$1 billion ARR and growing strongly.
• Key shift in 2026: Creator revenue sharing is now largely funded by up to 25% of Premium subscription revenue (a “Patreon-like” model). Payouts tie to verified Home Timeline impressions and engagement from Premium users — not directly to ads in replies anymore. X doubled the creator payout pool as Premium grew.
• This means paying Premium users indirectly support creators they engage with.
3. Other Revenue Streams
• Data licensing: Selling anonymized user/activity data to researchers, companies, etc.
• Creator tools & other: Direct creator subscriptions (fans pay creators directly), ticketed Spaces, etc.
• General platform usage fuels everything — more users and activity improve ad targeting, attract sponsors, and boost Premium sign-ups.
4. Creator Payouts in Context (What the Complaining Pastor Experienced)
• Payouts come from the shared pool (now heavily Premium-funded) and are distributed based on factors like impressions from real Premium users, engagement quality, and originality (X cracks down on re-uploads/gaming).
• Many creators report modest earnings ($0–$12-ish per million qualified impressions for average accounts). Top creators do much better; most get small amounts unless they have huge Premium-audience engagement. Low payouts like $80 despite high impressions often happen because only certain “verified/home timeline” views from paying users count heavily.
• X positions 2026 as the “year of the creator,” with efforts to increase the pool and reward quality/original content.
What You Missed / Nuances
• Not all user activity directly pays creators equally — Bots, non-Premium views, and reply ads matter less now. Focus is on genuine engagement from paying subscribers.

@airi_fact_555 It’s refreshing to see that patriotic instinct isn’t uniquely American it’s a human thing that pops up wherever people feel their homeland is worth defending. Different flags, same vibe, Totally Awesome.

@otakara18 Pushing weights that are way too heavy for the lifter’s current capacity is the most common trigger, I have seen this happen to many lifters.

@effect_motion_x The US has a solid chance to do well especially on home soil but winning the whole thing is a long shot, A deep run semis would be an incredible story, It's the best shot the US has had in decades, what about you?
