**[X Launches Million-Dollar Reward Program for Original Articles]** BlockBeats reports that on January 18, X's official creator account @XCreators announced that X's revenue distribution reached its highest record since the launch of its monetization program by the end of 2025. Declaring 2026 as the "Year of Creators," X is doubling down on creators' strongest area—writing—with the goal of recognizing high-value, high-impact content that shapes conversations, drives news, and influences culture. Creator Studio is also set to launch a more detailed revenue overview dashboard. X will prioritize article formats over short-form content, aiming to establish itself as the best platform for earning money through content creation. And this is just the beginning. Additionally, X will award an extra $1 million to the highest-rewarded article in the next payout cycle. The article must be original content, with a minimum of 1,000 words. The primary evaluation criterion will be exposure on the homepage timeline, and participation is limited to U.S. users. Content that violates X's policies, contains hate speech, fraud, or manipulative elements will not qualify. The article submission window is from January 16 to January 28.
