Since X tightened restrictions on creator revenue farming in reply sections, the spam game changed dramatically. Those mass comments flooding sports accounts and high-profile figures? Mostly gone. The low-quality 'infofi' spam that used to clog everything has dried up significantly. The real shift? My feed actually feels different now—conversations are shifting back to genuine interaction instead of people just chasing payout mechanics. It's one of those quiet improvements that honestly makes a difference in how the platform feels day-to-day. When incentive structures change, behavior follows.

Wow, someone finally said it. This move by X is really clever, directly hitting the vampire's butt.

Haha, finally someone said it. Those spam messages before were really annoying. --- When incentives change behavior, it follows that people change too. That's human nature, no problem. --- X's recent move is actually quite clever. Although not loud, the effect is indeed there. --- It's true that spam comments have decreased, but it feels like the activity level has also dropped? It's a dilemma. --- I'm really happy that infofi stuff has disappeared. No more unnecessary confusion. --- Once the reward mechanism was canceled, everything became clear. Turns out, it was all about earning a few bucks. --- This is the kind of healthy platform it should be, finally able to chat properly. --- The key question is: has the quality of conversations improved? I feel it's still the same. --- It's funny that those who used to make money by spamming comments now have to change careers. --- Quietly making changes, and then user experience improves—that's what a product manager should do.
