X just drew a line in the sand: copy-paste creators are out.
Downloaded someone’s video and reuploaded it? Doesn’t count.
Changed one word in a post you didn’t write? Doesn’t count.
Compiled other people’s content into a thread? Doesn’t count.
Reposted from TikTok/IG without being the original creator? Doesn’t count.
What counts: your voice. Your take. Your expertise. Actual commentary that adds something the internet didn’t already have.
This isn’t a monetization update.
It’s a filter for who’s actually a creator versus who’s just been recycling.
Nobody watches your first posts as an X Creator.
Not your family. Not your friends. Not even the algorithm.
I remember posting into total silence for months. Zero likes. Zero replies. Just me and the void.
Here’s what nobody tells you: silence isn’t rejection. It’s just reality.
You’re a stranger. Strangers don’t get trust, they earn it.
Every post you publish is a deposit. Nobody’s cashing out yet. Doesn’t mean the account is empty.
Stop chasing numbers. Start stacking reps.
The skill comes before the audience. Always has.
Guys what are “we” fighting for?
Replacing elites with other elites?
Anyone who can “fund” their campaign should not be voted for no matter who that is.
No honest person would spend millions to get a less than a million job. That’s how state capture happens.
We need to get to a place where elective posts are unattractive for democracy to work. Public servants should be under extreme scrutiny. We need to know it even when someone buys them coffee. We need to know why.
We’ve shed so much blood. I don’t want anymore more bloodshed (I’m not saying protests should stop). We can win without losing lives. BTW not everyone who died was in the protests so I can’t blame the protests it is the political class doing anything to cling to power.
Hear me out. We have the power to radicalize our parents to change how they vote. That’s why they sent us to school damn it. We can also front our own candidates and for this we have to fund their campaigns. The other side is being funded too so we gotta beat them at their own game.
I digress. Let’s get back to the question. What are you fighting for? How does a solution look like? What happens if he goes and there is a constitutional crisis? We gotta be smart about this. What does the law say? Let us pursue those.
“Whatever we face, we have a choice: Will we be blocked by obstacles, or will we advance through and over them ?”
Might be late to admit, but any @RyanHoliday book is always worthwhile
@ambaposh@_AsiwajuLerry you're right on the money my guy, if iPhone is not such a big deal then let the girl work hard, earn her money, buy it herself, who'll be scolding her then?
