JAKARTA X CEO Linda Yaccarino shared information about payments for content creators.

So far, platform X has paid more than 20 million US dollars (Rp309.8 billion).

Yaccarino said that payments to content creators or content creators are a form of X's support in supporting the pace of the economy.

"Making. Connecting. Gather everything on X. We support the economic success of new segments such as content creators. And so far we have paid nearly $20 million to the content creator community," Yaccarino wrote on his official account.

Before turning to X, Twitter was a free-free platform for social media.

However, Twitter changed a lot after Elon Musk took over and changed his name.

One of these changes is the emergence of X Premium. This special service for users can get a number of advantages over free users, one of which is being paid back by X.

X started paying content creators since last July. However, not all Premium X customers can enjoy this payment.

They should have at least 500 followers and get 5 million views over the past three months.

In July, Elon Musk said that the first round of payments reached 5 million US dollars (Rp 77.4 billion).

With an increase of up to USD 20 million, Techcrunch believes there are two possibilities.

The first possibility is an increase in Premium X users. X users may be aware of the results of the X Premium subscription.

Second, advertisements on X that may produce more shows so that the nominal increases.
