Social media platforms continue tightening their grip on spam and low-quality content. The latest move involves restricting API access and cracking down on third-party applications that incentivize user engagement through post rewards. The goal is straightforward: cut down on spam, bots, and the endless noise that clogs feeds.
This kind of policy shift matters for the crypto community. Whether you're sharing trading insights, project updates, or market analysis, the quality of your platform's information environment directly impacts how your message reaches others. Fewer rewards for engagement mean less incentive for farming bots and throwaway accounts, which could lead to cleaner discussions and more authentic community interaction.
It's a reminder that decentralized alternatives keep looking more appealing when centralized platforms keep tightening moderation controls.

The more centralized platforms become, the more strict they get. I really don't understand. They shut down APIs while claiming to crack down on spam accounts. As a result, ordinary people’s posts get drowned out. That’s truly the real noise, right?

Centralized platforms are becoming more competitive, and it's making me want to switch to on-chain social media, really.

Ha, it's starting to choke again, this time even the API is not spared.

Centralized platforms are tightening day by day; might as well move everything on-chain since Web3 is all about this.
