Interesting news: A well-known social media platform just announced a new creator incentive policy. In the upcoming revenue sharing cycle, they will allocate $1 million to the top-performing long article, specifically supporting original content that is truly in-depth and influential.
The criteria for this selection are quite clear—mainly based on the exposure performance on verified users' homepage timelines, meaning content reach and dissemination are key. However, there are requirements for submissions: they must be original content, with a minimum of 1000 words. This threshold is somewhat strict. Currently, only US users are eligible to participate.
It’s worth noting that the platform explicitly stated that content violating rules—such as hate speech, fraud, or manipulative content—will be disqualified. In other words, they are using incentives to steer the content ecosystem in a positive direction.
From the perspective of the creative economy, this approach is quite clever—using real cash to support high-quality original content, effectively giving a confidence boost to top content creators. For the entire Web3 content ecosystem, such incentive mechanisms are beneficial, as good content itself is a scarce resource. Creative thinkers are encouraged to pay attention to such opportunities.

A million dollars spent on an article—this level of investment is indeed quite aggressive... but it's a bit disappointing that it's limited to US users only.

1 million USD to buy an article? That's quite intense, but on the other hand, it's a bit harsh that it's only available to US users...

1 million invested just to get quality original content? Haha, American users have won again.
Starting from only 1,000 words, how hardcore does the content need to be to succeed?
By the way, these incentive policies can indeed guide the content ecosystem, but truly valuable creators are busy harvesting leeks on other platforms.
The competition for dissemination power is again a game of algorithms, feeling a bit familiar.
The problem is how to distinguish genuine originality from fake; is this reliable and trustworthy?
It's a bit upsetting that it's limited to the US. When will it expand to other regions?

A million dollars to publish an article? Sounds good, but it feels like an American game. Let's just watch and see.

A million dollars to publish an article? Sounds good, but the 1,000-word minimum is a bit intimidating. Who has the free time to write such a long piece?
