Creators report persistent reposting of their videos on X

• Creators say videos from Instagram and other platforms are still appearing as direct X reuploads, with awesome_visuals' later reply naming one account and a second example flagging another clip.
• Originality now affects payout eligibility under Engadget's account of X's new rewards program, while awesome_visuals' creator-tag proposal asks for a way to identify accounts in the new program.
• A report can result in removal, according to techhalla's follow-up, but techhalla said they stopped counting after 53 apparent cases in their tally.
• Watermarks and visible provenance have not ended the disputes: techhalla's watermark complaint says reposters ignored one, while their ownership correction identifies a video-quoted clip as the original creator's work.

A 30-second liquid-metal film appears in techhalla's prompt post, whose thread names GPT Image 2.5 and Seedance 2.5. A 34-second robotic-tattoo clip is attached to techhalla's reporting instruction, which proposes reporting an “unauthorized reupload” and linking the original post. X's policy excludes simple descriptive captions and text overlays from its definition of original content, according to Engadget's summary of the program.

awesome_visuals alleged that @AIslop was uploading Instagram videos in an earlier complaint, then said a further clip from Instagram or another platform had appeared in a later example.

techhalla described the problem as broader than a single account, writing that they stopped counting at 53 cases after checking further in their tally.

techhalla's replies record several kinds of attribution failure:

• A watermark did not deter a repost, according to techhalla's reply.
• A video quote still used a clip that techhalla identified as the original in their correction.
• One creator was being “robbed almost daily,” techhalla's reply said.
• “Thanks for reuploading my video,” techhalla wrote in a direct reply.

In techhalla's reporting instruction, the proposed workflow is: report the post as an unauthorized reupload, then add the original-post link. techhalla also said in a reply about automation that they avoided running bots against their own account, fearing the platform could treat that as fraudulent use.

A report did lead to one apparent removal: techhalla wrote in their follow-up that the post was no longer available.

X ended Creator Revenue Sharing after September 7 and opened the replacement program to current members on September 8, according to Engadget's reporting. Fastlane's rollout guide says payouts run every two weeks, while Posthype's review of the documentation found no published payout rate or pool.

The program's stated boundary is specific:

• Original work: a creator's own writing or reporting, self-taken photos or video, memes, and illustrations qualify, per Engadget's summary of X's definition.
• Reworked material: someone else's post needs meaningful commentary, analysis, or creative editing to qualify, according to the same policy summary.
• Excluded additions: captions and text overlays that merely describe a borrowed clip do not count as original content, per Engadget.
• Entry thresholds: Premium membership, 500 verified followers, and 500,000 eligible Home Timeline views from verified users over 90 days are required, according to Engadget's report.

Those rules are why awesome_visuals' proposal frames account status as part of the reposting problem.

awesome_visuals proposed two product changes in their reply: a reporting option and a creator tag that would show which accounts are part of the new program.

AIandDesign said in a reply on payouts it hoped scammers and spammers gaming the system were gone, describing them as taking rewards money from original creators while awaiting the first payout.
