X product chief Nikita Bier announced a ban on InfoFi’s pay-for-post apps, citing AI-generated low-quality posts and excessive replies as harmful to user experience.
On January 16, X product chief and Solana advisor Nikita Bier announced a policy change blocking InfoFi apps that pay for posts. He explained the move was in response to a surge of AI-generated low-quality posts and excessive replies that degraded user experience. This action targets API integrations driving such content and follows Bier’s disclosure that InfoFi had paid millions for X’s API access before the platform decided it no longer needed that revenue.
