Jeffrey J. Hall 🇯🇵🇺🇸(@mrjeffu):A blue check monetized "MAGA" account based in India has pivoted to downloading and reuploading Japanese earthquake videos & even copy-pasting the Japanese text from the original Japanese uploader. When I try to search for information, there are many such monetized accounts that just re-upload videos and spam keywords related to the earthquake. I suppose that X's monetization system pays money to accounts that do this?
