Summary
X's head of product, Nikita Bier, acknowledged that many top accounts on the platform are stealing videos from other users, sometimes years after they originally went viral. To address this "recycled content" problem, X is launching a new in-app video editor and recorder on iOS, aiming to encourage original content creation that doesn't exist on other platforms. Videos currently make up close to half of all impressions on X.
