Will API restrictions really kill InfoFi? I remain skeptical.
This wave of changes will indeed hit low-quality mining and bot-driven spam content—honestly, that might not be a bad thing. A large amount of information filled by bots has indeed polluted the ecosystem.
But the issue isn't that absolute. InfoFi can definitely survive and do even better. For example, campaigns could switch to a manual submission mode combined with AI review. This hybrid approach not only preserves the core functions of the protocol but also improves content quality. From another perspective, API barriers might actually filter out inefficient participants, leaving truly valuable contributors. The ecosystem needs natural selection.

Cleaning up spam bots is indeed necessary, but now it's a different matter altogether.

Honestly, cleaning up these bot spam might not be a bad thing.

nah the real question is whether infofi devs are willing to actually optimize their execution path here... most protocols just accept the friction instead of thinking through it like a proper mempool puzzle. natural selection speedrun incoming honestly

Honestly, killing off low-quality bots should have been done a long time ago; there's too much spam.

honestly the hybrid approach they're sketching out is mathematically superior to the current state—api gating forces actual optimization of participation patterns instead of this wasteful bot spam everyone tolerates. if you analyze the data, quality filters > quantity every time. low-effort participants getting filtered out isn't a bug, it's feature design

ngl, this wave of API barriers might actually be a turning point; clearing out the trash is the only way to truly thrive.
