X cuts Revenue Sharing payouts for aggregator accounts

What changed

Nikita Bier wrote that all aggregator accounts had their payouts reduced to 60% for the cycle, with a further 20% reduction the next cycle. He added that habitual “🚨BREAKING” bait posters would also be paid less. TechCrunch reported it the next day.

Why it matters for creators

This was the first step toward Original Content Rewards. Repost-heavy accounts saw lower payouts months before the program changed.
