Social media platform X quickly retracted its announcement regarding New rules To monetize creators, which focused on payments based on a creator’s local audience engagement.
Late Tuesday, X head of producer Nikita Beer Announce Starting Thursday, the platform will change its policy regarding payments and will focus more on impressions from the sticker area. His reasoning was that the platform should discourage manipulation of the algorithm by posting about the United States or Japan to attract the attention of those larger audiences.
“We will give more weight to impressions from your home region – to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language,” Pierre books On X.
“While we value everyone’s opinions on US politics, we hope this will discourage interest manipulation from US or Japanese accounts and instead stimulate diverse conversations on the platform. We call on creators to start building a local audience. The X community will be richer when there are posts relevant to people all over the world.”
This attracted a lot of attention cash from Users All over the world who said they published different topics in different languages, such as English, in an attempt to attract more readers, since the use of X in their country of origin was rather small.
Hours after the announcement, Elon Musk, in a response to a user, said the company would “temporarily stop moving forward with this until further study,” effectively stopping the changes from moving forward.
Over time, X has changed the way account information is displayed to prevent people from posting false information. Last November, the company introduced a new field in the profile information section to let people know about it The country or region where the account is located. The idea behind this was to understand whether the account was real or a bad actor seeking to spread misinformation – especially political misinformation.
The new creator payout feature appears to have similar roots, where accounts can post about issues in a particular region to attract attention. However, in its current state, the move could have also affected people who post about sports, fashion, movies or technology around the world, not just political accounts.
Earlier this year, The company said it will use its own products AI tools and community feedback to get rid of these stickers. last month, Wired She reported that X was a breeding ground for misinformation after the US and Israel attacked Iran with AI-generated video posts and passing off video game clips as actual war footage.
