Social platforms shift their rules faster than most creators can track, and X’s latest move proves it once again. The platform didn’t just open a Handle Marketplace; it also wrapped it in a long list of conditions that many users only noticed after getting excited about buying a premium @name. At Ytviews, we’re constantly breaking down these updates so creators don’t get blindsided by fine print or unexpected rule changes. The recent adjustments by X are a perfect example of why staying informed matters.

X’s Handle Marketplace: Big Names, Bigger Complications

When X announced that Premium+ and Premium Business users could buy vacated handles, it sounded like a huge win. Some handles are priced in the five- to seven-figure range numbers that only make sense if a username has serious business potential. But once you dig into X’s updated documentation, the picture becomes less attractive.

X clarified that buyers don’t own these handles. They only get a “limited, revocable, non-transferable license.” Translation: you’re renting a name that X can reclaim at any time. And if you stop paying for X Premium? The handle goes right back to the marketplace.

More Requirements, More Pressure on Creators

The conditions don’t stop at payment. X now expects anyone who buys a handle to:

•          Post original and engaging content regularly

•          Participate actively in replies, reposts, and discussions

•          Log in at least once every 30 days

If any of these slip X can take the handle back even if you paid a fortune for it. For creators considering such an expensive investment, these restrictions change everything.
