Can imported Instagram posts earn Creator Rewards?

No. Imported content does not add qualifying live-capture wildlife signals. Creator Rewards eligibility relies on qualifying live contribution.

Steps: none — imports build the Dex only. Live scans remain the path for qualifying contribution.

What can go wrong: treating an imported archive as earnings-eligible. It is not.

What to do next: use Instagram import to start the collection, then keep shooting live captures if you want qualifying Creator Rewards contribution.
