Platform X has just announced a major adjustment— the product lead confirmed that the platform will ban the continued operation of InfoFi applications, with the official reason citing the rampant spread of AI-generated spam content.

This decision has triggered a chain reaction. The Kaito Yapper community, with 157,000 members, was banned, and the related token KAITO's price plummeted accordingly. This not only dealt a blow to the community's user base but also put InfoFi projects relying on the X platform ecosystem to the test of survival.

The underlying issue worth noting: the proliferation of AI content indeed troubles the Web3 social ecosystem. While the platform takes coercive measures, it also exposes the challenge of balancing openness and content quality. For community-driven crypto projects, this cleanup storm may signal the arrival of a more stringent platform governance era.

Coming to ban again? Is X serious or just here to mess with us? No, KAITO was directly shut down, 150,000 community members say it’s gone just like that? This business is really outrageous. AI garbage is a problem, but a complete ban is too harsh... It should have been addressed long ago, but why do small projects always get caught in the crossfire? If this wave is real, the Web3 social ecosystem will have to be reshuffled again. Just banning an app causes the coin price to plummet, this is the risk of centralization. X platform is now really one and only, we can only watch. Other platforms need to seize this opportunity, or how can they compete? It feels like projects on X will have to be more cautious in the future, one misstep and they become the next bagholder. Open vs regulation, this is indeed a tough question, but we can't let the big players take the blame.

Is the platform clearing out again? This time KAITO was directly hit... The community of 150,000 people said it’s gone just like that, it’s a bit upsetting to see. There are indeed many garbage contents in artificial intelligence, but such a blunt approach is too harsh... Is it really impossible to reconcile an open ecosystem with governance standards? X’s move was aggressive; other projects built on the platform should hold on tight. The next one might be your turn. If you ask me, this is the true vulnerability of Web3 being exposed — life and death are entirely in the hands of centralized platforms. How can it still be called decentralization? Someone should have warned these projects not to rely too heavily on X. Now it’s too late to regret... When the token price drops, that’s when you’ll feel the pain.

Here we go again, just ban it if you want. Anyway, Web3 is like this. --- KAITO's recent cut was really brutal; 150,000 people just disappeared... --- Honestly, it's still the platform's decision. The dream of decentralization is shattered. --- There are indeed a lot of trash content, but doing this is essentially a disguised way of cutting leeks. --- Is X cleaning house or cleaning wallets? Think about it carefully, it's terrifying. --- Balance between openness and quality? How is that possible? Centralized platforms have always been the dominant player. --- Let's watch the show. Who will be the next to get cut? --- The InfoFi project is really too dependent on X. It's time to wake up. --- AI trash is just an excuse, basically they don't want to give you room to develop.

Another wave of platform cleanup... This time directly cutting InfoFi, really ruthless. --- 150,700 people said no, and KAITO is truly in the hands of the market now. --- Honestly, the AI-generated content is too outrageous, but such a blunt approach is just too crude. --- Openness and quality are inherently a deadlock; this move by X looks cool but has endless repercussions. --- Projects that rely on platforms for their livelihood need to tighten up; the risks are just too high. --- There are indeed many garbage AIs, but freezing the entire community ecosystem? That logic is a bit off. --- Web3 is like this—one decision can destroy the entire ecosystem. --- Why does it feel like the platform is becoming more and more "dictatorial"... What about decentralization? --- KAITO's plunge was inevitable; after all, you bet all your chips on X. --- The ban is also in place; now it's just a matter of who can find an alternative.
