OCR could be minus off the contents they considered not original. So the payout are lower for most accounts.
There are lots of fake small accounts posting large numbers.
Just had my lowest X payout since December 20th, 2025.
Meanwhile, tiny accounts that literally just copied my posts got many times more views on most of my best posts.
The new X algorithm is not only extremely unfair, but it also does the opposite of incentivizing originality.
