X platform is serious about cracking down on AI spam. Recently, platform product lead Nikita Bier admitted that applications like InfoFi pay millions of dollars annually for API access, but this revenue is no longer essential for the platform. More importantly, the side effects brought by these applications are gradually becoming apparent—大量AI生成的垃圾信息和低质量回复充斥平台，严重影响了用户体验. Therefore, X decisively revoked InfoFi's API access. Although this move means losing some revenue, it results in a cleaner platform ecosystem. It seems that for the platform, user experience and content quality have become more important than short-term commercial gains. This also reflects that Web3 ecosystem applications need stricter quality control during development.

It was about time to regulate this. That trash information is really annoying. --- Millions of dollars can be released at will. That kind of boldness is impressive. --- Finally, a platform dares to prioritize user experience instead of just focusing on money. It's rare. --- I had a premonition that InfoFi would be banned. Trash responses are indeed everywhere. --- Web3 applications should be stricter like this; otherwise, the entire ecosystem will be ruined. --- Giving up millions in revenue for a clean community—this deal is worth it. --- Actually, it's because InfoFi's stuff is too lousy. No wonder it got shut down. --- The question is, how many similar applications are still doing this? --- Let's do the math: lost revenue vs. user retention, the latter is more valuable. --- Finally, there's a platform that isn't blinded by money.

Forget it, it's rare to see the platform dare to abandon this revenue stream, so they still have some conscience. --- infof makes a fortune, but ends up turning the platform into a garbage dump. Serves them right for being cut. --- This move is good, much better than those platforms that let robots run wild just for a few dollars. --- Wait, just revoke API access to eliminate spam? Feels like treating the symptoms but not the root cause. --- It's hard to handle, finally having a profitable ecological app being shut down again. --- Prioritizing user experience sounds good, but how many platforms can really stick to it? --- Spam has decreased, but does this also limit innovation? Seems a bit overcorrected. --- There's nothing wrong with this move by X; just want to see if ten more similar things will pop up later.

Finally, a platform dares to take action. Junk information is really annoying. I'm impressed with this move by X. Giving up millions for peace and quiet is worth it. InfoFi should have been banned long ago. Spamming bots are really disgusting. Some things are more important than money, and this time I see it clearly. API abuse should be strictly regulated, or the ecosystem will be completely ruined.

Finally, a platform dares to cut trash apps. I've been annoyed by those AI spam accounts for a long time. --- Millions of dollars can be cut just like that. The move is indeed ruthless, but worth it. --- Web3 should all learn from this, instead of just thinking about profiting from newcomers. --- I predicted that InfoFi would be banned long ago. There are too many spam responses. --- This decision is great, but I don't know how long it can last... --- In the long run, it's good for the ecosystem. Earning less in the short term is also okay.
