If you searched Twiends, you want followers who follow back. A credit exchange will do that with strangers. Most of those follows do not stay, and they are the wrong kind of follower for getting paid on X.
What people use Twiends for
Twiends is a follow exchange. You follow other accounts, you earn credits, and other people follow you back. The number on the profile goes up. The person on the other side is whoever the exchange served next.
That follow has no shared subject and no similar size. When they hit X's follow limit, they unfollow to make room. You were a credit, not someone they meant to keep reading.
Why that pattern falls apart is followers who follow back on X.
Why those followers do not help you get paid
Original Content Rewards counts verified followers. X asks for at least 500 of them. A follow from an account with no checkmark does not move that number. Views that pay are Home Timeline impressions from verified users, and X tells creators not to use tools that artificially generate follows.
A pile of exchange follows can make the public count look healthier while the number X actually checks stays put.
The current payout rules are in how to get paid on X.
What you get here instead
XPacts is a room of public Premium accounts. You pick up to 5 niches. Your feed is people who share one and sit in your follower band or below. Bronze through 500, Silver from 501 to 2,000, Gold from 2,001 to 10,000, Platinum from 10,001 to 50,000, and Diamond from 50,001 up.
You both follow on X, by hand. We ask X whether it happened. You have 48 hours after the pact is on. Then we check on days 7, 14, 21, and 28. If someone unfollowed, it shows on their profile.
XPacts is free for everyone right now. You get 10 actions a day and up to 10 pacts open at once. Sending or accepting a pact costs one action. Enough to be deliberate, and not enough to spray.
