Nikita Bier of X warned a user against reuploading the White House shooting video, asking him to ‘Quote’ or ‘Video Reshare’ instead.
Updated on: May 24, 2026 6:14 AM IST By Sanya Jain Share via Copy link Nikita Bier, the Head of Product at X (formerly Twitter), has warned a user against reuploading other people’s videos, saying it could further reduce the revenue he earns from the social media platform. Bier issued the warning to Mario Nawfal, a Lebanese-Australian entrepreneur and podcast host.

The U.S. Secret Service shot a person near the White House on Saturday, and a bystander also was shot, a law enforcement official said. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) (AP Photo/Alex Brandon) Nawfal had this morning reuploaded a video that was originally shared on X by ABC News journalist Selina Wang. The video showed gunfire erupting near the White House while Wang was reporting from the area. She was filmed diving for cover as shots rang out in the background. “I was in the middle of taping on my iPhone for a social video from the White House North Lawn when we heard the shots. It sounded like dozens of gunshots. We were told to sprint to the press briefing room where we are holding now,” Wang explained while sharing the video on X.

Nawfal reuploaded the video with a different caption just a few minutes later. “Footage from ABC News has captured the moment shots were fired outside the White House,” he wrote. The post led to a warning from X’s Nikita Bier, who informed the founder and CEO of IBC Group that he could face further reductions in his earnings. “Please do not reupload the author’s video: use Quote or Video Reshare,” said Bier. “Your revenue was reduced by 90% last cycle and we’re running out of room to reduce it more.” Bier’s warning is in line with changes to the X creator revenue sharing programme announced earlier.X’s creator revenue sharing programme
X had announced in April that it was revamping its creator revenue sharing programme by deranking low-quality content and incentivising “original, high-quality content that brings new value to the Timeline”. Under X’s creator revenue sharing programme, eligible creators earn money based on engagement and interactions generated by their content on the platform. The programme was introduced as part of owner Elon Musk’s push to attract and retain creators by offering monetisation opportunities. The update was announced by X Product Head Nikita Bier, who wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), “For this creator payout cycle, we’re experimenting with new tools to identify original authors of content and allocating a portion of revenue to them.” “Reposts & commentary will always be a core pillar of X, but our Revenue Sharing programme should incentivise original, high-quality content that brings new value to the Timeline. This means rewarding the effort it takes to produce something, not just the poster who helped it travel furthest,” Bier added.White House shooting
A person who approached a White House security checkpoint and began firing at officers has died, according to federal officials. The U.S. Secret Service said in a statement late Saturday that, according to a preliminary investigation, the person approached a checkpoint shortly after 6 p.m. ET “removed a weapon from his bag and began firing at posted officers.” Officers returned fire and hit the suspect, who was transported to an area hospital, where he later died, according to the Secret Service.
