Twitter launched an ad revenue sharing program for creators recently. Eligible Blue subscribers have already started receiving payments. This initiative was first announced in February by Elon Musk, but the details were not available on how it would work.
Later in a Tweet announcing the program, those who are eligible will receive a portion of the ad revenue generated from their posts starting with replies.
Rewards from a few thousand to 10 thousand dollars are reportedly received by popular users based on ads shown in replies to their posts. A cumulative sum from February from now on of $5 million is the first round of payouts for creators.

Ad Revenue Sharing
The revenue sharing system is only available for Twitter Blue or Verified Organization subscribers who have generated at least five million impressions on posts in each of the past 3 months.
In addition to that, users will be subjected to a human review and must follow the Creator Subscription policies before getting paid through a Stripe account. The creators who meet these requirements can apply for this program.
To apply, users have to go to the Monetization section in their account settings and there will be an application process as it plans to expand eligibility for more creators.
Limitations are added by Twitter that for monetization, creators can’t produce sexual content, pyramid schemes, get-rich-quick schemes, violence, criminal activities, gambling, drugs and alcohol. Attempts by creators to monetize copyrighted content are also considered a violation.
