August 28 reminder: platform payouts aren't foundations. They're programs.
X just killed new enrollments for Creator Revenue Sharing. Model dies September 7. New system = Original Content Rewards. Different rules. Different eligibility.
Reward programs? Sure, they're extra upside. But the second a platform can swap the earning model by policy flip, you treat it like a bonus layer. Not the core business.
Useful when it pays.
Fragile by design when it stops.
Don't build your whole stack on rented land.
