Kimi's undisclosed ad campaign is now hurting the creators who weren't part of it. my account was locked last night forcing me to put a Paid Partnership label on a post I made about Kimi K3.1's launch which getting paid a cent for it. I even condemned Kimi’s undisclosed ads the next day, and my post was a normal quote of their blog, without ANY of the points they allegedly told creators to push from the brief screenshot. I’ve appealed and am waiting for the result now. > so the creators who did an undisclosed ad got their money, > Kimi got the exposure it wanted, > and many creators who reacted to the launch authentically got hit with a violation. so now quoting any launch post is like walking through a minefield because you never know what the company is doing behind the scenes. I dig through every model release (Anthropic, OpenAI, Qwen, etc.) and share what I find valuable, good or bad. but since now, I will not engage with any of Kimi’s launches until they make this right.
