+$2,254 from X monetization for last 2 weeks
streak of 3 payouts when I am getting $2k+ from monetization
here's what I noticed changed with X monetization this time:
MOST IMPORTANT:
monetization for stolen/reposted content got mass-slashed
my friend got $180 for 12M impressions. all reposted TikToks and YouTube lectures. wild engagement inside every tweet. doesn't matter
X now detects it as stolen, low-quality content (especially if it's already been posted on X before)
meanwhile original creators with 2M impressions are getting 5-10x bigger payouts
the algo started heavily rewarding meaningful content with real involvement
stopped rewarding the views at all, gave a preference to bookmarks, replies, profile clicks
however, this original content is getting pushed hardly to TL which results in a low number of views
the best combo right now for maximum reach + monetization:
1: post your original tweet or article first
2: then find an interesting video or lecture from YouTube/TikTok
3: quote your own tweet with that video attached
the original post gets the monetization weight. the video QT drives the traffic back to it
here's which metrics ACTUALLY matter for virality according to the source code:
Final Score = Σ (weight × P(action))
Phoenix predicts 15 engagement signals for every tweet on your timeline:
heaviest positive weight: replies, profile clicks, DM shares, copy-link shares, follows
medium: reposts, quotes, clicks, dwell time
lightest: likes ← almost irrelevant
negative (SUBTRACT from score): not interested, block, mute, report
the exact numbers are hidden in the release. but what this means in practice:
tweet A: 10,000 likes, 12 replies, 0 shares
tweet B: 800 likes, 340 replies, 45 DM shares
tweet B massively outranks tweet A. likes without real engagement is noise
now add negative signals:
tweet C: 5,000 likes, 200 replies, but 30 blocks and 5 reports
those 35 negative actions can cancel out everything
tweet gets buried. account gets suppressed
the algo doesn't count views
it counts what people DO after seeing your tweet and mass-punishes you if that action is negative
especially I felt block/mute and report on myself
STORY: I released a tweet with personal observations on X algos when it got updated and open-sourced
it went viral. 2M views in 12 hours
but Nikita Bier said I was misleading the audience. a lot of toxic people on this platform took it too literally and sent a ton of negative feedback
I decided to delete it
few days later I caught a shadow ban. my impressions literally got dumped 5x overnight
with the highest probability from the toxics who mass-muted and blocked me after that tweet
one viral post with the wrong crowd cost me weeks of reach
WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS:
stop chasing views. start creating content people save, share and reply to with real thought
the smartest play on X isn't going viral. it's going viral with the right audience
that's where the money is
BE YOURSELF.
+14.8k$ this month
Was very emotionally hard month for me, a lot of gambling on chain
But I'm trying to cope and suppress my emotions
Hoping to make 100k next month, I already know what to do to make it happen
@AlphaApeSOL Thanks Dude. Nice project. You've done good job. I was expecting at least 1M Mcap.
Can't understand why people buy rug projects but don't care abt really nice project as yours.
today we are excited to announce the first ever of its kind twitter tracker, that tracks tweets of tokens based on attention.
no adding a list of usernames to track or that bs.
trade attention ⚡
@prokirov Что известно о погибшем? Позывной "Пиксель". Был редкой мразью и скотиной. Сейчас его послали на спецоперацию в ад, но там черт сказал, что у них даже таких мразей не принимают. Это даже для них, для чертей, слишком жестоко то что он делал...
Сьогодні представники Зеленського завуальовано сказали:
Нехай репресовані киримли посидять в магаданах ще 15 років,
Нехай кримські біженці жебракують ще 15 років,
Нехай армія-агресор розвиває свою міць на українській землі.
Зеленський харкнув всім українцям в обличчя!
