Kimi's undisclosed ad campaign backfires as X locks unpaid creators' accounts
Hesamation · x · 2026-10-27
Hesamation says X locked his account and forced a Paid Partnership label on his unpaid, organic post about Kimi K3.1's launch — fallout from Moonshot's leaked undisclosed ad campaign that told creators not to disclose payment. Paid creators got money, Kimi got exposure, while authentic posters got violations; he's appealing and cutting ties with Moonshot until it apologizes.
