Twitter\/X&#8217;s advertising revenue-sharing program gives users a portion of the revenue from ads displayed in responses to their messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The program is only available to users with a X Premium or Verified Organization paid account<\/strong>, and they must also have at least 500 followers, as well as a minimum of 5 million organic
