X forces creators to label unpaid Kimi reviews as 'paid sponsorship' to unlock accounts
LinusEkenstam · x · 2026-10-27
AI creators LinusEkenstam and @MaxBlade report that X locked their accounts and only unlocked them after they marked posts as paid sponsorship — posts reviewing Kimi that they say were never sponsored. MaxBlade's post was even a negative review. Both publicly deny taking money from Kimi or any AI lab, calling X's behavior 'utterly unacceptable.'
