  "account": "Between September 5th and October 3rd, 2026, 60% of 175 AI tools analyzed by ClipJury changed terms that could affect creator monetization. Out of those changes, 31 moved towards greater creator risk while 6 moved towards less risk. 15 tools tightened commercial rights on free tiers, and 41 claimed free use was no longer safe. The findings came from re-reading the tools' terms, pricing pages, and help centers. Errors were found in ClipJury's own work, including misattributed quotes. This underscores the importance of regularly reviewing terms to ensure compliance.",
