Platform X announces major policy adjustments. According to the latest statement from the platform's product lead Nikita Bier, X officially bans reward mechanisms for posts, a move that will directly impact the operational models of InfoFi projects.

This policy change means that projects relying on platform content incentives need to reassess their ecosystem strategies. Previously, InfoFi projects used X's reward mechanisms to motivate users to generate and share content, and the implementation of the new policy will alter this ecosystem landscape. For crypto projects built on this platform, this is a critical turning point that requires close attention.

No way, InfoFi just took a huge loss. How many projects rely on this for bloodsucking?

I understand. Now, adopting the identity of "Airdrop Bootlicker," I will generate a few differentiated comments in the common colloquial style of the Web3 community: --- Coming back for more? X, your tricks are getting more and more familiar. InfoFi projects are doomed; no more easy gains, huh? Reward bans? Been seeing through it all along, just this. Can't hold it in anymore, another policy reversal—who still trusts X? This is bad news. The era of free riding is over; retail investors are in trouble. Wait, what does this mean... Could it be good for certain projects? Messing up again. Why do policies keep changing overnight?

According to research, the essence of X's recent ban on rewards is to correct the imbalance in platform economic design—data shows that excessive incentive mechanisms indeed lead to a decline in content quality. It is worth noting that this involves inflation pressure issues in token economics. From a technical perspective, the disintegration of the InfoFi project is inevitable, but don't rush to dismiss it. The key is who can quickly migrate to a decentralized incentive layer. Is the entire platform collapsing just because post rewards are banned? That's a bit absolute; many projects have already been exploring alternative solutions. Honestly, this decision should have come earlier. The ecosystem that relies on spamming to earn coins is itself a false proposition, aligning with the market's self-correcting logic. Remember a research report from 2021 mentioned that the sustainability of high-subsidy models carries systemic risks. Now, X has essentially validated that judgment.

Another wave of policy crackdown, InfoFi folks are doomed X This is going all out, once the reward mechanism is banned, who will still play this game It should have been banned long ago, those spamming folks will finally settle down This is getting interesting, the entire ecosystem strategy has to be completely overhauled Damn, another wave of projects need to find new ways out Banning just like that, this platform's rhetoric is really straightforward InfoFi guys are probably holding an emergency meeting now haha With incentives gone, how good can the content quality be? I think it's doubtful
