InfoFi has had inherent shortcomings since its inception.

Looking at its essence, the quality of information dissemination has never been the true core pursuit—the driving force has always been directed toward increasing user engagement. This has led the platform ecosystem to be hijacked by short-term incentive mechanisms, making it difficult to effectively ensure content quality.

Recent market adjustments and platform algorithm optimizations have dealt a heavy blow to this track, which may be beneficial for the long-term health of the ecosystem.

If InfoFi wants to achieve a true market return, the path is clear: it must abandon套路, shift to more mature and responsible mechanism design. This is not just a simple feature iteration, but a rethinking of the entire value orientation.

Basically, InfoFi is just to scam engagement; quality has never been an issue. Once the algorithm is tweaked, the true nature is revealed. This wave of decline is well-deserved. If the mechanism isn't changed, it will continue to be cut in half. Short-term incentives are deadly; Web3 is most likely to fall into this trap. By the way, can any project really withstand this, or are they all the same?

Another track ruined by short-term incentive mechanisms, essentially the old trick of traffic first. The theoretically feasible decentralized information layer has been forcibly turned into an engagement farm.

Basically, it's just to harvest the little guys; the higher the participation, the better to deceive.

In plain terms, InfoFi was ruined by short-term incentives and can't be saved at all. It should have dropped sharply a long time ago, flushing out those who only want a quick exit. The mechanism hasn't changed; no matter how much you hype it, it's all empty talk. Algorithm adjustments are actually the most honest cut.

To be honest, the InfoFi gameplay from the very beginning has been a hot potato game, never really aiming to produce high-quality information. It's all just a bunch of gimmicks and incentive-driven participation numbers. Does anyone really believe in that? This round of adjustments is actually a wake-up call. We'll see who can survive and then you'll know who truly has something.
