Seeing some complaints about accounts being suspended or significantly reduced in earnings due to generic traffic and posting jokes, I think this is the correct traffic direction for X.

X's positioning is a news social and speech platform, not a generic entertainment platform. The core content needed here is news, professional information, idea collisions, and opinion exchanges. If it focuses on generic traffic, the original user base will instead drift away, leaving behind low-value users with low stickiness.
Although X doesn't pay much, if it encourages the widespread posting of low-value content, X will be taken over by traffic bloggers from third-world countries.
After all, a few hundred to a thousand dollars a month isn't very attractive to Western bloggers, but for many in third-world countries, it already counts as a decent income.
