In order to increase their reach and, thus, their earnings on the website, the news discovered networks of dozens of accounts that repeatedly distribute one other’s content throughout the day. This content includes a mixture of genuine, erroneous, and counterfeit content.
Many claim that they have made between a few hundred and thousands of dollars from their own and other accounts.
Additionally, they claim to coordinate the spreading of each other’s posts on group chats and forums. According to one user, “It’s a way of trying to help each other out,”
While some of these networks back Kamala, others back Donald Trump.
US politicians, including congressional candidates, have contacted a number of these profiles, which claim to be unaffiliated with official campaigns, in search of posts that would demonstrate support.
X modified its guidelines on October 9th, so that qualifying accounts with a large reach now receive payouts based on the quantity of premium user involvement (likes, shares, and comments) rather than the quantity of advertisements beneath their posts.
A lot of social networking platforms let users share sponsored content or earn money from their posts. However, they frequently have policies that let them suspend or demonetize profiles that spread false information. X does not follow the same rules regarding false information.
