Premium Basic still doesn't unlock Original Content Rewards. A lot of people find that out after they upgrade.
If you're buying Premium for monetization, you need Premium or Premium+, not Basic.
Did you already hit that wall, or are you still on Basic hoping it counts?
Refreshing every 20 minutes after posting? I had a void era too.
Zero likes isn't zero chance. X's published code retrieves posts with zero likes, can lift small accounts' new originals for 2 hours, and For You takes posts up to 48 hours old.
Judge at 48 hours, not 20 minutes.
Myth or Math: bookmarks and profile visits are super-signals.
X's published code, as of commit 9106e9f (Oct 30, 2026), sets profile visits to 0 and leaves bookmarks out of the final score. Replies, quotes and shares carry the weight.
Verdict: myth.

ALT Bar chart titled 'What carries weight'. Subtitle: X's published code, as of commit 9106e9f (Oct 30, 2026), sets these default weights. Bars on one linear scale, in order: share via copy link, 20; reply, 5; quote, 5; share via DM, 5; follow, 4; like, 0.66, the home-mixer default (another file in the repo says 0.5); profile visit, 0, no bar; bookmark, not in the final score, no bar. Note: weights multiply predicted chances, not counts. Production may differ. Footer: X Elevate.
