Today is indeed quite quiet. The buzz around "𝕏 salary" (creator ad revenue sharing on the X platform) has suddenly cooled down.

**Many people rehashed, rewrote, and reposted previous viral posts/screenshots from different angles** trying to capture another wave of traffic and attention, but the result is highly homogenized content. Everyone sees "similar old memes + new packaging," the novelty is gone, and naturally no one's flooding the feeds discussing it anymore.

From recent activity in the Chinese-speaking community:

- People who actually got paid are still sporadically showing off (like payment screenshots, Alipay withdrawals going through instantly), but the volume is already very low;
- Most posts' engagement has shifted toward complaints like "when will mine arrive," "mine got suspended," "I'm being shadowbanned," or directly pivoting to other platforms/tracks;
- The wave of new rules in early March (like requiring "Paid Partnership" tags, violations easily leading to revenue suspension) caused some people to crash and burn. With accounts locked or earnings frozen, people are more inclined to wait and see rather than continue loudly shouting "we're getting paid";
- Plus X's 2026 revenue calculation shift toward "genuine engagement + Premium user impressions" rather than pure exposure/view padding means that content relying on reposting/mutual follows/low-quality copying hardly catches the windfall anymore.

So the current situation is roughly:

- Early adopters who got a piece are quietly making money (or discreetly continuing to produce)
- Middle-tier followers who jumped on the reposting trend realize it's not as lucrative. Enthusiasm is waning
- Newcomers are still feeling out the barrier to entry and pitfalls, but no one dares to shout loudly anymore, afraid of being flagged as a "repost gang member" and shadowbanned
One sentence summary: **The highlight moment of the bonus period is over. We're entering a stage that tests real skills and patience**. Today's quiet might actually mean everyone's started seriously "working" rather than "hyping" 😂

Has your revenue come through? Or are you also stuck in "under review/suspended"?
