Masquerade

i want to be proud of the opportunities this country can offer, not just proud of how resilient filipinos have become despite the circumstances. resilience is admirable, but people also deserve systems that work.

Just a few thoughts to share: X should seriously consider making its Creator Revenue Sharing eligibility requirements more achievable, particularly for small and emerging creators. Reaching 500K verified impressions within three months may be a reasonable target for accounts with an established following and a large audience. But for smaller creators who are still building their communities, reaching that same number is an entirely different challenge. Let’s also recognize that not everyone can create a viral post or consistently produce content that gets thousands of impressions. Not every post will take off, and not every creator will have a breakthrough moment. Many are simply showing up, creating content, engaging with others, and doing their best to grow organically. Even accounts with a decent following are finding it difficult to reach the target. Imagine how much harder it is for someone who is just starting out and trying to gain visibility. This isn’t about removing eligibility standards altogether. It’s about recognizing that creators are at different stages of growth. A more realistic threshold, perhaps 250K verified impressions for smaller accounts, would give emerging creators a fairer opportunity to qualify. Platforms like YouTube and Facebook also offer monetization opportunities without requiring creators to pay a subscription fee just to become eligible. On X, creators are expected to maintain a paid subscription while also meeting challenging impression requirements. Small creators invest their time, effort, and creativity into building communities, too. They deserve a fair chance to benefit from the platform they’re helping grow. Hopefully, X will listen to its creator community and reconsider its current criteria. Monetization shouldn’t be an opportunity reserved only for those who already have a massive audience. Smaller creators deserve a chance to get there, too. - Xoxo
