InfoFi hits a turning point: X platform revoked the application's API access last night.

The logic behind this is straightforward—X believes that the incentive model of "posting for profit" harms user experience, and therefore decided to delist the entire content creation incentive system. What seems like a routine management action by the platform, the market responded with the most genuine reaction.

Within 24 hours, the KAITO token plummeted over 15%. The once hot narrative instantly collapsed. This is not just a price fluctuation but a re-pricing of the project's true value by the market—when the incentive mechanism is pulled out from under, the project's essence becomes impossible to hide. Some may ask, is this a crisis or a purification? Perhaps both.

Wow, this is the pace of accelerating the sickle Getting cut off from the API like this, what does it mean... there’s no real use case at all 15%? I bet this is just the beginning

I've long seen that this thing doesn't work; the model of making money by posting is just a pretext for scamming newbies. A blanket ban on X actually helped, preventing more people from getting caught. Those praising KAITO, now they're probably feeling awkward. Once the illusory incentive mechanism is removed, it's nothing—just this? This is what it means when the market tells the truth. The next one is probably coming soon, with similar projects piling up. I just want to see who still dares to talk about a "healthy ecosystem cycle," it's hilarious.

Another project that relied on incentives to survive has died. I've long been fed up with this kind of gameplay. --- X's recent move was too harsh, directly cutting off the underlying logic. What support is left? --- 15% is still considered mild. I think many people had to cut their losses. --- Making a post to profit? That sounds ridiculous. It's basically a scam to harvest retail investors. --- In simple terms, it has no real application value and relies solely on capital injection. --- This model will fail sooner or later; it's only a matter of time. X has finally taken action. --- Ah, another monthly retail harvest expert has stepped down. Those who bought should wake up. --- Purification? This is just cleansing. The damn project is gone.

This is the fate of Web3. A project built on an incentive model cannot withstand scrutiny. A cut in incentives directly exposes the flaws, and KAITO's sharp decline indicates that the market has long seen through it. Another project sustained by stories; it's time for a cleanup. This is the real market pricing—nothing surprising about it. So, things without real application scenarios will eventually die.

It's the same old story, posting to make money is just a scam. Projects that promise quick money by lying flat reveal their true nature once they run out of funds. Elon really went all out this time; KAITO's 15% is just the beginning. Without incentives, no one will play—that's the truth. Pretending to be a noble act by draining the source of funds; in reality, it's just a game of hot potato that has come to an end.
