X has enhanced its creator monetisation policies by deploying the latest Grok AI model to detect copied content three times faster. The platform targets reposted videos and viral text posts without proper credit, redirecting monetised earnings to original creators. This crackdown also addresses engagement bait tactics. X reported detecting around 1.5 million stolen posts and reallocating over 1 million in payouts, aiming to promote original content and fair revenue distribution among creators.
