Twitter paid out $100K to an account that reposts other people's stuff, despite Musk claiming to oppose that
An account that reposts memes and other viral content appears to be among the biggest winners of Twitter's new creator payout scheme.
The account has amassed its vast following by posting screenshots of other viral posts, often with a humorous comment. It makes no claim to have originated its content, a mixture of screengrabbed text, photographs, and videos. The page's bio says it will only credit the work's actual creators if asked.
