A major social media platform recently took action, announcing a complete restriction of API access for InfoFi-related projects. The reason behind this is quite simple—the platform simply cannot tolerate the flood of AI spam replies and bot spamming.



These automated accounts are desperately flooding the platform to earn points and rewards, severely devaluing the entire content ecosystem. Cookies were the first to be banned, and Snaps' operations were also forced to shut down.

What's more interesting is that the official statement added a bureaucratic tone: if developer accounts are banned, feel free to contact us, and we can help you migrate to other platforms. This statement is both official and painfully honest.

Ultimately, the path for InfoFi has been completely blocked by the authorities. The era when simply publishing information could mine tokens is truly gone for good. With tighter platform governance and ecosystem restructuring, how this track will develop next depends on the participants' innovation capabilities.

Haha, I saw long ago that this path was not going to work. Only now has the official taken action, which shows the situation is indeed a mess.

These projects that got banned deserve it; who can stand the constant barrage of headlines?

The information mining approach is dead; we need to think of new tricks.

That official statement was truly perfect—polite yet ruthless, cutting off all escape routes.

Ecosystem reconstruction? Reconstruct what, if not just a change of skin.

The InfoFi track is really done for; participants should quickly look for the next opportunity.

Haha, the official phrase is really perfect, "Welcome to migrate" basically means get lost.

The fall of InfoFi is well-deserved; daily robot spam is unbearable.

It's obvious that Cookie was banned early on; greedy projects never have a good ending.

Another boom has died out, and next month we'll have to tinker with something new.

Blocking APIs is a harsh move, cutting off all ambitions' paths directly.

Who said that information mining could make you rich back then? It's time to wake up.

Ecological restructuring sounds nice, but it's really just a complete restart.

This time, it really depends on who can come up with new tricks.

There are too many pitfalls; every time one appears, the official shuts it down.

The naked power of the platform—small developers have no way to compete.

The era of making quick money is over; now it's about playing with real skills.

Haha, the official move is really ruthless, directly kicking people out while pretending to be friendly.

It should have been dealt with a long time ago, or else the spam will flood until everyone is exhausted.

I saw someone asking what to do when Cookie gets banned, now you understand.

Basically, it's just about trying to extend life; if the robot ecosystem isn't cleaned up, it will collapse sooner or later.

Those who rely on spamming to earn points need to think of new ways to survive.

These days, nothing is that easy—it's just a dream.

That official statement is indeed sarcastic; the words are, "Get lost, buddy."

Ha, another track has been cut, this is Web3.

The official statement is hilarious, it made me laugh to death. To translate it, it’s basically "Get lost, brothers."

---

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have touched InfoFi. Now it’s a mess.

---

Robot spamming is really annoying. The platform’s move to cut it surprised me enough to want to applaud.

---

The dream of information mining is shattered. Where is the next opportunity?

---

Cookie and Snaps have failed. Latecomers should reflect on this.

---

Innovation capability? Most projects probably don’t have any at all.

---

Alright, this path is truly closed off.

---

It seems we need to change our approach, everyone. The era of pure information value-added is really over.

---

Although the official move was harsh, the ecosystem has been saved.

actually... this is what happens when you build systems with perverse incentives and zero trust assumptions. the whole infofi model was basically a probabilistic proof of "how to destroy your own platform" – and yeah, platforms eventually figured out the math doesn't work.
