David Heinemeier Hansson (@dhh) is estimated to earn $1,895 to $7,582 a month from X (formerly Twitter) creator payouts, if enrolled in Original Content Rewards. Ruby on Rails creator and 37signals co-founder posting opinionated engineering commentary.
That figure comes from roughly 600K followers posting about 25 times a week, which we model at around 167.6M impressions a month. The audience is mostly uk, eu, australia and the niche is tech, crypto, finance or politics (premium-dense), which together set the applied rate at $11.31 to $45.25 per million impressions, including a 2.0× volume premium because Premium-subscriber engagement concentrates under the biggest accounts.
Within Tech & AI, that is about 1.3x the median tracked account in the category. Engagement is classified as high, which sets how far each post travels beyond the follower count itself.

- Is @dhh 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 @dhh a range?
