The company is pushing harder on live content, and this looks like a direct bid to look more competitive next to <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube-ps-vr-ps4.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitch.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fund is meant to get creators trying live video right away. What&#8217;s still missing is the part people will actually want clarified before they commit real time to it: X hasn&#8217;t said what the <strong>long-term payout model<\/strong> will look like or exactly which benchmarks creators will need to hit.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you stream on X often, this is something to pay attention to.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are catches. The more advanced Live Studio features require an X Premium subscription, livestreaming itself is on track to become <strong>Premium-only<\/strong>, and X is also giving monetization preference to original creators over repost and aggregation accounts.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That all fits with X&#8217;s bigger video push, especially as video viewing on the platform keeps climbing and the X TV app has now joined the mix. But X still has to show it can support <strong>bigger streams<\/strong> without issues, and it needs to explain payouts in a way that isn&#8217;t so vague.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can get to Live Studio now through X&#8217;s Creator Studio.
