Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
X users are only eligible for ad revenue payments if their content is original or accurate.
The finding
What the evidence shows
Originality and accuracy do matter for X's ad revenue program: posts that get a Community Note or are found misleading can be excluded, and recycled or copied content doesn't qualify. But those aren't the only requirements, creators also need an active Premium subscription, at least 500 followers, and a minimum number of verified impressions, so it's not accurate that content quality is the sole gate.
