There’s no more debate. InfoFi is officially dead on X (Twitter).
Not FUD. Not speculation. A direct statement from Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X.
> “We will no longer allow apps to reward users for posting on X (aka ‘infofi’).
> This has led to massive amounts of AI slop & spam replies on the platform.
> We have revoked API access from these apps.”
Translated into market language:
👉 InfoFi = noise
👉 AI content farms = platform cancer
👉 API revoked = clinical death
Why InfoFi really died
Not because the idea was “too early.”
Not because the tech was bad.
👉 It died because the community abused it to death.
* Soulless spam replies
* Infinite AI copy–paste
* Zero-signal content farming “engagement”
* Writing for points, not for humans
At some point, X looked at the feed and said the obvious:
“This isn’t social. This is a landfill.”
Is Kaito a victim?
No.
Kaito is just the most visible example of a broken incentive model.
* Reward behavior → you get spam
* Reward reach → you get manipulation
* Reward engagement → you get fakery
If your entire ecosystem is built on misaligned incentives, collapse isn’t a risk — it’s a certainty.
The uncomfortable truth for crypto & AI
The market is still drunk on the illusion that
“a narrative equals value.”
X just slapped the entire space with reality:
> Not everything labeled AI + tokens + incentives deserves to exist.
InfoFi didn’t die because of a bear market.
👉 It died because it destroyed user experience.

Final questions :
* Was killing InfoFi the right move?
* Is X protecting the platform — or strangling innovation?
* And the real question:
👉 Which narrative is next on the gravestone?
Drop your take.
Let’s see who still believes spam can be called a revolution.
