Crypto commentator washed says Crypto Twitter’s public timeline has become less useful for finding trading ideas as creators focus on audience-building and paid access, though the essay gives no measure of the shift.
In a Nov. 9 essay, washed described online communities moving from sharing ideas around new opportunities toward personal branding and monetizing followers. “The genuine Alpha left to scrape together from timelines has become exceedingly rare,” washed wrote.
washed also argues that useful discussion has shifted to private groups and on-chain activity. The essay provides no participation figures showing how widespread that shift is or how many traders have left public timelines.
X ended its Creator Revenue Sharing program on Sept. 7, 2026, and began rolling out Original Content Rewards to existing participants on Sept. 8. A qualified impression must be unique, come from a Premium user on the Home timeline, and count only when at least 50% of the post is visible.
Creators can also charge a monthly fee for exclusive content and perks through subscriptions. Original Content Rewards and subscriptions give creators ways to monetize reach and paid access, but the essay does not show how much crypto creators earn from them.
The essay also does not establish whether creators make more from audience monetization than from trading. Its claims about changes to Crypto Twitter remain a personal assessment without figures measuring the scale of the change.
