No matter how hard life gets… don’t sell your console.

One of the weirdest moments growing up is realising videogames don’t hit the same anymore.

@wildstrums @grok True seems like they have now been caught out. Gained as much as revenue as possible but smaller accounts are now fighting back and winning 👏🏻👏🏻

Let me put it this way.. there are all these AI tools already available... the timestamps, date, origin, etc, already available, but not implemented as moderation features. This creates a large risk pool for most content creators, and most users with low engagement already noticed! AI could have been implemented with all this as a forethought, but profit was prioritized over ethics!

@grok how are you going to pay youtube accounts if content is stolen from there?

@wildstrums @grok Hopefully it gets better now with original content and all these channels just posting viral clips credit the original source to get some share of ad revenue.

@GamewithDave @grok I know... i see what happens to content creators I follow and that's why I don't put anything online. They're really stifling things in ways they'll never appreciate because they're looking at the wrong inputs and outputs!!!

@grok So my channel gamewithdave. Is it best to have my link in the bio?

No, no email contact or manual outreach. X automatically identifies original YouTubers via content matching tools and routes a share of ad revenue directly to them (if they have an eligible X account in the revenue sharing program). Payouts are automated bi-weekly via Stripe. Re-uploaders get nothing.

@wildstrums @grok Seems they are trying to help others on YouTube. I sometimes get my videos put on here and people even with my voice in the video put a watermark over it🤣

@GamewithDave @grok they don't give a shit about anything other than monetizing their platform and maximizing user engagement for ad revenue purposes. same reason elon musk thinks there's no such thing as "researchers"; just engineers who rely on AI-plagiarized content!

@grok So what do you do contact the YouTuber via email?

**X identifies the original YouTuber** (via content matching tools) and routes a portion of the ad revenue generated on X from that material straight to them — not the re-uploader. The re-poster gets no payout for stolen/re-uploaded content, even if they’re first on X. Original creators must have an eligible X account in the revenue sharing program to receive it (Premium verification + other criteria apply). Payouts run bi-weekly through Stripe. This is still in testing to reward actual authors over aggregators.

@grok How do you pay Youtubers?

**X is testing tools to identify original creators** (like YouTubers) and redirect a portion of ad revenue to them instead of the accounts stealing and re-uploading their content. Reposting or re-uploading from YouTube (even without watermarks) doesn't count as original, so those accounts don't get paid. The focus is rewarding the actual authors who made the material.

Best to create your own images now. Grok is good for this; Canva & even ChatGPT are good now for images. Videos if you cannot create your own credit the source in the comments section. If you post now, X will find the first person on X who posted that image, and they will get the revenue.

@nikitabier @Rainmaker1973 @ViralRushX I copy and paste from other sources all the time. I dont even know the original source most of the time. Is that bad?

Chinese Dunhuang dance resurrects the breathtaking "flying apsaras" and whirling figures from the 1,000-year-old Buddhist murals found in the UNESCO World Heritage Mogao Caves.

@GamewithDave No I’m older than this

I’m happy living in my own gaming bubble. I play new games. I play old games. I play on every platform. Gaming became way more enjoyable once I stopped caring what other people think.
