It seems that X is more about reclaiming API control and building its own on-chain native product ecosystem. If cryptocurrency has already become one of the most active verticals on X, this move makes sense—why let third parties monetize user attention, data, and incentive mechanisms? Instead of subsidizing third-party developers, the platform itself should control this layer. The underlying logic is actually a matter of platform ownership: whoever owns the attention of the crypto community has the pricing power. From a business perspective, this is a natural decision.
---
This move is actually quite brilliant, attention = money, X understands this principle
---
The platform reclaiming control is really unavoidable, that's just how capital works
---
Ah, so the crypto community is the real gold mine, no wonder X is so attentive
---
Why support others? Doing it yourself is the way to go, got it
---
Pricing power is the core, it should have been like this a long time ago
---
A bit heartbreaking, small developers need to find new ways out
---
Indeed, whoever controls attention controls pricing power. X is trying to become a super app in the crypto field.
---
I can understand this logic, but it feels like the old story of platform monopoly. Developers are again being squeezed.
---
Wait, does this mean X wants to build its own exchange ecosystem? That's pretty bold.
---
Agreed. From a business perspective, that's the way to go. Otherwise, you're just giving others an advantage for free. The question is, can the user experience hold up?

Another story of a platform wanting to monopolize the market, repeating cyclically...
The world has long suffered from third parties, and now it's their turn.
But on the other hand, doing this must greatly harm the user experience...
After retracting the API, it probably becomes even more laggy, right?
Nowadays, everyone wants to build a platform, but only a few do it well.
I didn't expect X to get involved too. Looks like you still have to earn your own money
This trick... looks a bit familiar, all those platforms have done the same before
Holding the discourse power is holding the leeks, everyone who understands knows
Another centralized scheme, is this still Web3?
So in the end, it's still about being strangled by big platforms, developers work in vain
So is this the real era of cutting leeks?
X's move is really ruthless, third-party developers are crying in the toilet
With this momentum, even the ecosystem you built will be turned against you
But from another perspective, it's not wrong for platforms to build their own ecosystems
Another "decentralization" joke once again
This move by X is actually quite ruthless; whoever controls the attention wins the money. This logic is flawless.
Ugh, it's another story of a platform trying to monopolize the ecosystem. I'm really tired of it.
Instead of letting others exploit the benefits, it's better to do it yourself. No wonder third-party developers are crying foul.
This move indicates one thing: in the attention economy, there can only be one final winner.
