Ad revenue sharing from profile page views

Replying to a user, Musk said: "Soon, we will share ad revenue from profile page views, which should roughly double payouts. Note, only views from verified users count, as it is otherwise trivial to bot scam the view count."

According to Twitter, a creator must be a Blue or Verified Organisations subscriber and have more than five million impressions on posts every month in the past three months to be eligible for payouts.

Increase in Twitter rate limits for verified users

Musk also announced that the rate limit for verified users has been increased by 50 per cent. As per T(w)itter Daily News, Blue subscribers can now see 15,000 posts in one day.

Increase in platform usage

Elon Musk also announced that the platform usage is up by "3.5 per cent week over week". Sharing deeper insights, @TitterDaily stated that 88 per cent of users use the app on mobile, with Japan being the "most active country" on the app.
