Creator calls out X's tiny Paid Partnership labels as sponsored posts flood timelines
Arindam_1729 · x · 2026-11-11
Developer Arindam says his timeline is flooded with sponsored posts and details common evasion tactics: tiny labels, reviews that never mention the deal, 10 accounts hyping the same tool with identical talking points within two days, and replies asking about sponsorship getting ignored or deleted. He argues the issue is missing context, not monetization itself, and proposes easier reporting of undisclosed ads, more visible labels, and real consequences for repeat offenders.
