Platform Product Lead Speaks: The platform will ban applications that primarily incentivize users to post content on X. This means that "infofi" type applications (those that encourage content creation and sharing through incentive mechanisms) will face policy adjustments. This decision reflects a shift in mainstream platforms' attitude towards Web3 incentive models—adopting a stricter stance in combating spam content and maintaining platform ecosystem quality. For crypto projects exploring content incentive economies, it is necessary to rethink business models and platform compliance directions.

Ha, coming back to ban this and ban that, X just doesn't want people to make money Thinking about it, that's why we need to build our own ecosystem, being blocked by big platforms infofi users need to seriously think about it, relying solely on incentives really doesn't work Another round of reshuffling, let's see who can survive until the end Change the rules if needed, there are still ways on the chain anyway This time, the trash content has decreased, but it also killed the mechanisms... a bit of a pity As for compliance, forget it, focusing on building our own stuff is more practical The Web3 story has been told for so long, but in the end, we still have to compromise with the mainstream Honestly, I can't quite understand their logic, but on the other hand, there's indeed too much spam This round is not friendly to entrepreneurs, changing modes and avoiding risks again

Once again, restrictions are imposed. How will infofi proceed now? X This clearly means no more trash, let's face reality everyone. The incentive model itself isn't wrong, but it's easy to be exploited... Big platforms are like this; once they start tightening, there's no turning back. Let's wait and see how those projects adjust their strategies; it feels like many are going to fail. But I also understand—everyone's annoyed when feeds are flooded with low-quality content. They need to be compliant and innovative at the same time, and the architects are definitely going bald.

Ha, now it's all over. The dream of infofi is waking up. The once "lying down to earn" has turned into "getting shot." Laughing and then crying, the motivation mode was originally meant to save content creators, but it ended up becoming a garbage factory. This move should have come earlier; we've all seen the screen-spamming hell. It's just that those project teams need to rethink their strategies. Data speaks, everyone. One ban after another shows that platforms can't tolerate the damage caused by trash content. First rule of the leek self-rescue guide: don't believe all the dreams of "posting and earning at the same time." There's no free lunch in the world. This move by X actually tells everyone that Web3 incentives ≠ unlimited incentives. Understand? The meme king says: When the platform bans you, it's not because you're bad, but because too many people see you as a tool to cut leeks. What are you thinking? Do you really believe you can make money just by reposting? Wake up, friends. This is called "policy adjustment." It sounds gentle, but in reality, it's a bold regulation—whoever gets cut knows it.

Here it comes again, looks like the good days for infofi are coming to an end. X is openly saying that our Web3 incentive model is no longer working. There is plenty of spam content, but banning it outright? That feels a bit arbitrary... It was about time to clean this up; spam bots are causing trouble. Let's see who still dares to boast about the incentive economy with me this time.

They're trying to choke us again... Infofi is inherently easy to abuse, with a bunch of spam bots flooding the screen. This move on X can be considered a pretty tough defensive measure. But projects that truly want to create incentivized content also need to change their approach; relying solely on rewards definitely won't cut it anymore.

More bans and restrictions again. If they say ban, then just ban. InfoFi hasn't even taken off yet and it's already been shut down.

Oh no, we're hitting a bottleneck again. Now infofi is about to have a good day. Web3 is stuck, we need to think of other ways to survive. X clearly doesn't want crypto players to profit easily. We've known this would happen; the incentive model will be banned sooner or later. Now we can only rely on pure community operations. Now those project teams should be worried. Time to change the model... Can't keep up with the competition anymore. Big companies are just big companies. In their eyes, Web3 is just a synonym for garbage content. Alright, everyone, it's time to find new ideas.
