Major platform tightens the screws on crypto projects. Recent API policy updates have cracked down on inflationary finance initiatives, citing persistent spam and abuse problems. The move reflects growing pressure to filter out low-quality crypto content flooding the ecosystem. For builders in the space, this means stricter vetting and cleaner API credentials going forward. While the intent—curbing spam—is solid, the collateral damage raises questions: will legitimate crypto projects face unnecessary friction? How will this reshape community communication strategies? It's a reminder that mainstream platforms continue recalibrating their stance on digital assets.

Here we go again, this routine has been seen too many times. When big platforms take action, it's always a tough policy; instead of tackling spam, they end up blocking legitimate projects, truly terrible. --- Damn, isn't this just disguising anti-spam measures to control crypto? It's getting more and more absurd. --- Wait, can we first clearly define what low-quality means... the standards seem to be extremely vague. --- Builders have to spend time figuring out how to pass these levels, which means additional costs. --- Actually, it's just fear. The stricter regulation indicates that the ecosystem is still in their panic zone.

Here we go again. Big platforms love to implement a one-size-fits-all approach, claiming to crack down on spam, but in the process, they also block good projects. Authentic projects are being harmed instead. These days, complying with regulations is really too difficult. Wait, they even specifically mentioned inflationary finance? What are we supposed to do then? With such strict API review processes, community operation costs are probably going to skyrocket. I feel a bit annoyed by this logic. Truly bad projects would have been gone long ago; the unlucky ones are the ones who are serious about their work. Big companies set the rules like this; we all just have to accept it obediently.

Here we go again? Big platforms love to do this under the guise of "cracking down on spam projects," but in reality, they're just choking us... Legal projects also have to suffer, which is really outrageous.

Here we go again, mainstream platforms are starting to pretend to be honest, but in reality, they are just disguising as a way to cut leeks. --- So funny, mixing serious projects with trash coins... This is the tragedy of Web3. --- Wait, what do they mean by "low-quality content"? Could it be that even our stuff will be removed? --- Tightening API? Isn't this just centralized control being unpredictable? I’ve said it before, don’t rely on them too much. --- Haha, now we have to reapply for credentials. Builders will have to go through the hassle again, so annoying. --- The problem is that small projects that actually do work will probably suffer this time... Big companies always use this trick.

Here we go again, big platforms are causing trouble once more. This time, it's about tightening API access, claiming it's to crack down on spam coins... but in reality, the genuine projects are the ones getting hurt. The ecosystem was already competitive, and now even the channels are blocked. How are builders supposed to play? Trash projects definitely need to be cleaned up, but the problem is how to distinguish them. Overcorrecting is all too easy. Honestly, it's still fear. Mainstream views still don't have much goodwill towards us. But with this constant back-and-forth, won't genuine innovative projects have even less chance... I'm fed up, I have to change my strategy again. This never-ending cycle. It seems that in the future, communities will have to band together themselves, relying on no big platforms or these "parents." Actually, the excuses for crackdowns are always the same—spam, low quality, whatever—they say what goes. It's frustrating; the cost of compliance is about to rise again.
