A significant move just went down: X's leadership pulled API access for InfoFi, and the ripple effects are already worth examining.
On the surface, it's a platform decision. But dig deeper—what does this signal? Is this the end of centralized information layers controlling creator analytics, or the beginning of a shift toward more independent, decentralized alternatives?
The real question hits harder: How does this reshape the economics for creators and data analysts who built workflows around these tools? Does it push the community toward self-sovereign solutions?
The attention economy and reward systems built on platforms are getting tested in real time. Where do you see this heading? 🤔

NGL, this move is pretty aggressive. Another moment of being choked off.

Uh... isn't this Elon Musk causing trouble again? Turn off the API and a bunch of people's jobs will be gone.

The platform tightening API is forcing developers to become independent. It should have been like this a long time ago.

NGL, this is what Web3 should look like. Centralized platforms can shut down at any time; it's about time they self-rescue.

It's the old trick of platforms cutting leeks again, this time it's InfoFi's turn.

Damn, causing trouble again? X really can't sit still, directly cut off InfoFi's API, now a bunch of people have to come up with new solutions.

Centralized platforms are just harvesting profits; these data intermediaries should have been cut long ago.
