Is @WIRED monetized on X?

We have no signal on whether this account has been accepted into Original Content Rewards, the X payout program. The figure shows what the account's reach would be worth if it had.

Why is the estimate for @WIRED a range?

X publishes no per-impression rate, and payouts depend on engagement from Premium subscribers rather than raw views. Modelled rates span roughly $1 to $20 per million impressions depending on audience geography and niche, so any single-number estimate would be false precision.

WIRED (@WIRED) is estimated to earn $14,340 to $47,803 a month from X (formerly Twitter) creator payouts, if enrolled in Original Content Rewards. Technology magazine with a developer-heavy readership.

That figure comes from roughly 10M followers posting about 80 times a week, which we model at around 549.2M impressions a month. The audience is mostly us / canada and the niche is tech, crypto, finance or politics (premium-dense), which together set the applied rate at $26.11 to $87.04 per million impressions, including a 2.7× volume premium because Premium-subscriber engagement concentrates under the biggest accounts.

Within News & Media, that is below the median tracked account in the category, at about 62% of it. Engagement is classified as average, which sets how far each post travels beyond the follower count itself.
