X Removes InfoFi Apps to Cleanse Crypto Spam and AI Slop Off Feed
Key Takeaways:Policy Change Focuses on Post-to-Earn ModelsReaction and Project Termination in the MarketMoving Developers and Technical Barriers
To developers who were left with no platform, X was slightly ironical in his olive branch. Bier mentioned that the company would help concerned teams to migrate their businesses to competing platforms such as Threads or Bluesky. This action is an indication that X is no longer interested in reaping the revenue of these high-volume API users, but more so on cleaning the primary feed.
The technical side implies increased authentication and controls on engagement data. Some of these InfoFi apps were previously paying millions of dollars to gain access to Enterprise API, but X has determined that the price to the overall quality of the platform does not justify the subscription income. Analysts claim this is the pivot point of experiments by SocialFi where the latter have attempted to construct atop centralized Web2 rails.
