Big update from #X (Twitter) 🚨
X’s Head of Product #NikitaBier announced that apps which pay users to post are now banned.
This includes #InfoFi / post-to-earn models.
Why?
These apps flooded X with:
AI-generated replies
Bot spam
Low-quality engagement
X has already cut API access, so once rewards stop, most bots should disappear. A cleaner timeline is coming.
Interesting reaction:
@Pudgy Penguins said this could impact India’s economy.🐧🐧🐧 $PENGU
Why #India ?
A large part of engagement farming came from there — people using #AI tools and bot accounts to earn side income through points, rewards, and crypto payouts.
For many, this wasn’t a joke — it was real money.
Impact so far:
InfoFi projects like $KAITO , $COOKIE etc. are getting hit
Tokens down 20% – 50%
Features shut down almost overnight
Mixed outcome:
✅ Less spam, more real conversations
❌ Sudden income loss for many creators and hustlers
So, What's Your Take On This Fam ?
Is this the end of spam on X?
Or will it just move to Telegram mini-apps, Bluesky, or Threads?🤔
