  • Publisher Nexon has now made a statement addressing the situation, saying the ads were submitted by users as part of a ‘TikTok Creative Challenge’, which TikTok describes as an “official creator monetization program that turns your creativity into cash by creating UGC-style ads for your favorite brands”.

    “All submitted videos are verified through TikTok’s system to check copyright violations before they are approved as advertising content. However, we have become aware of cases where the circumstances surrounding the production of certain submitted videos appear inappropriate. Thus, we are conducting a thorough joint investigation with TikTok to determine the facts.

    How could they not see this coming? Of course this will be gamed and abused. This is what happens when you fire your marketing department and outsource it to TikTok.







  • Still this seems like a HackerOne problem, they’re acting as the middleman and I assume are taking part of the payout. What are they doing to earn the money they’re taking? The reason to go with HackerOne is to facilitate the interactions with people and pass the reports. It shouldn’t be a Curl maintainers responsibility to spot obvious AI slop. Maybe this is just the tier they’re on with HackerOne, but considering this is HackerOne’s business model, I would imagine that if huge companies are also dealing with this, then HackerOne will loose a lot of clients.

    Ninja Edit: Obviously the problem is the people creating AI Slop, but HackerOne should be the ones dealing with it, not OpenSource Maintainers.
