Platform X has recently begun disabling content applications that pay users with token rewards. This move aims to combat AI spam and platform chaos. The decision has directly impacted projects relying on such reward mechanisms—tokens like KAITO and COOKIE have dropped accordingly. The logic is simple: users stop posting, user retention declines, and the application ecosystem is disrupted. Projects built on the InfoFi reward model are undergoing market tests, and investors are starting to reassess the sustainability of this business model. This adjustment reflects the platform's emphasis on ecosystem health and user experience, but in the short term, it has indeed put downward pressure on related tokens.

Here comes another round of pulling the wool over investors' eyes; this move by the platform is brilliant. --- KAITO is directly cut in half—laughing to death. This must be the fate of InfoFi. --- So essentially, tokens are useless. Projects that rely on rewards to siphon funds are doomed. --- Haha, I saw this pattern couldn't last long. Are you only realizing it now? --- Platform bans = project bankruptcy. Without rewards, who would post? --- This is called a quick squeeze, then move on. Is the ecosystem healthy? Uh, uh. --- COOKIE is cooled off. Can you still exchange it for money, friends?

The wave of information finance has been thoroughly cut, it seems X has also had enough of these garbage spam --- KAITO and COOKIE directly plummeted, this is the reality, everyone --- Basically, users post casually just for those rewards, and the platform couldn't take it anymore --- The infifi mode was already too fragile, and I didn't expect it to crash so quickly --- Projects still playing with token rewards should reflect, really --- Cracking down on spam is right, but it has indeed wiped out a bunch of people's positions --- A healthy ecosystem comes at a cost, someone has to take a loss

The bottom-fishing opportunity is here, InfoFi is just a deceptive Ponzi... I will go all-in regardless of how low KAITO can drop.

Now InfoFi is completely done for. It was obvious early on that this model wouldn't last long. KAITO and COOKIE directly dumped their tokens. Those who needed to cut losses probably already ran. X disables token rewards. It seems the platform really can't tolerate those trash AIs anymore, which is reasonable. The paid information route is not viable, so don't force it. Honestly, no one really wants to post to earn coins; it's all just a scam to harvest retail investors.

Now it's happening again, another wave of rug pulls. KAITO and COOKIE are plunging directly; I always said that those earning coins just by posting are unreliable. I've seen it early on; platform rectifications are just superficial, and fundamentally, those project models are problematic. X's move is ruthless, but it indeed trapped a bunch of people. InfoFi will definitely fail sooner or later; I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Wait, is this really good for the ecosystem? It feels like just pushing the problems further back. People are always slow to realize; only now do they understand the sustainability... Why didn't they do this earlier?
