X Sues Users Over Alleged Engagement Manipulation for Revenue

X says some users may have tried to make money by pretending that posts were more popular than they really were.

Three accounts allegedly posted short, positive comments to make activity look real.

Examples of those comments included “Legend,” “Massive,” and “Bullish.”

X shares creator revenue based on engagement.

That means more activity can lead to more money.

The alleged fake comments may therefore have been used to increase payments.

The accounts reportedly drew attention because their names and financial details did not match.

X is suing over the alleged manipulation, but the claims described here are allegations.
