X just tightened its API rules and is cracking down on apps that reward users for sharing posts. The move targets spam reduction across the platform. It's a shift worth noting if you're building on social layers or running community engagement campaigns in the crypto space. The stricter stance on engagement-farming mechanics means projects need to rethink how they distribute content and interact with their audience. Simple incentive mechanics won't fly anymore—platforms are pushing back against artificial amplification.

ngl, engagement farming is really coming to an end. The old share-to-earn strategy is completely outdated now.

Oh no, now the like farming has to change its tactics

Engagement farming is dead, it should have died long ago
---
Could it be that we still need to build genuine communities? LOL
---
Another platform is starting to compete, social layer days are getting harder
---
This move by X is pretty ruthless, directly cutting off the wool gatherers' revenue
---
Projects that rely on incentives to boost activity need to rethink, this is a bit awkward now
---
Artificial amplification has been banned, which is actually good news for builders

Honestly, X's crackdown caught us off guard. Engagement farming, to put it simply, is just a variation of cashing in on naive investors. It should have been shut down long ago.

Nah, now it's all over. The earn-to-share model is completely dead... What should we do about our small projects?

NGL, now it's over. Engagement farming is completely out of luck; you have to create real content.

NGL, this move by X really hits the airdrop enthusiasts' sore spot. In the future, genuine interaction will be more important than just spamming orders.
