Let me be frank about this. Platform monetization is the root cause behind the AI spam wave we're seeing everywhere. You look at Facebook, YouTube, X, TikTok—basically any platform with a rewards system—and the pattern's identical. The moment creators can make money, AI-generated trash floods in. It's inevitable. When incentives are misaligned, quality dies fast. Take InfoFi's API access situation: revoking permissions is one approach, but it only patches the symptom. The real issue runs deeper—as long as platforms incentivize volume over authenticity, bad actors will keep finding ways to exploit the system. It's not about blocking one project or API. It's about rethinking how we structure rewards in digital spaces.

Honestly, this is a profit-driven vicious cycle... As long as there's money to be made, any trash gets pushed up.

Basically, the logic is—where there's money to be made, there will inevitably be trash AI content. There's nothing to argue about. This guy is right, but nothing can be done about it because no one is willing to give up that piece of cake. Platforms are like this—getting worse and worse, but everyone is still using them. Irony, huh? Forget it, forget it. As long as it can still make money, whether it's real or fake doesn't matter anymore. The ecosystem has been broken for a long time. Patching an API is useless... the core problem hasn't been addressed.

NGL, this is what money causes—once the reward system opens, it's all trash AI... Exactly right, this problem can't be solved at all. Really, the platform design itself is poor; just blocking APIs is useless... It's crazy, everyone wants to make money, so everyone will cheat. The core issue is still driven by interests; there's a problem with the system design.

ngl this guy is really not wrong, the platform is just a greedy ghost, as long as it can make money, it will allow any trash Wait, the InfoFi thing is really just the tip of the iceberg, it can't be fundamentally fixed The system is rotten, what's the use of changing the API? To put it simply, the incentive mechanism is flawed. Without changing this logic, everything is pointless The more people there are, the more money they make. Who cares about quality... Platform: Come on, post content to make money! AI: I'm here! Platform: Damn? It's all your fault... This is really outrageous This is truly the real tumor, just blocking this and that is not enough
