{"title": "X Modifies Creator Earnings System to Prioritize Local Audience Interaction and Curb Fake National Identities", "body": ["X has revised its creator monetization program to emphasize interactions from a poster's native area, according to an announcement from Nikita Bier, the platform's Head of Product. The adjustment aims to promote material that connects with audiences in the creator's nation, adjacent regions, and those sharing the same language."], ["Bier noted that although the platform welcomes global perspectives on American governance, this shift is designed to reduce attempts to exploit visibility from profiles in the United States or Japan, which boast the platform's biggest user bases. While not directly stated, a transparency tool introduced by X last year uncovered that numerous high-profile feeds sharing supportive views on Donald Trump and broader U.S. issues were operated from abroad. These profiles, which mimicked American origins and accumulated millions of engagements including likes, impressions, and shares, were actually run from locations such as India, Kenya, and Nigeria."], ["Bier emphasized that the platform will benefit greatly from content tailored to diverse global regions, fostering a more vibrant user base. Addressing a follow-up comment about low user numbers in certain nations complicating earnings potential, he recommended focusing on personal, everyday stories from those locales. He added that users remain free to discuss U.S. affairs, but the company will no longer compensate for such overseas-generated material."], ["The updated earnings framework from X is set to activate on Thursday, March 26."]}
