What is really happening behind the crazy money-dispensing incentive programs on Twitter?
While everyone is watching the price fluctuations of cryptocurrencies, on-chain data monitoring has uncovered an interesting phenomenon—a suspicious flow of funds circulating within the creator revenue system of the X platform.
In simple terms, the recent proliferation of bot accounts on the platform employs much more complex tactics than you might imagine. What are they doing? They are arbitraging through systematic rules, bringing content farm models onto X. One side relies on algorithms to attract traffic, while the other side exploits incentive policies for cashing out and subsidies—classic "killing two birds with one stone."
Interestingly, the returns from this model are rapidly declining. Data shows that the monthly income from a single arbitrage path has already fallen to around $72. This signal is clear: either the platform's risk control is tightening, or there are too many competitors, and the market is saturated.
What does this mean? Any arbitrage model that relies solely on loopholes in rules is inherently short-lived. When a strategy becomes widely discussed, it has essentially entered the red ocean. The truly profitable ventures are always those based on creating real value, not exploiting system vulnerabilities.
In this era of collision between crypto and social finance, what is needed is not just the ability to track fund flows, but more importantly, to see through the sustainability behind these patterns. Opportunities that seem to make money are often the most fragile.

Earning only $72 a month is so pathetic, I'd rather take a part-time job... I should have realized long ago that this is a dead end.

Still playing with $72? It's about time to switch, digging into vulnerabilities will just turn into a sieve.

$72? Laughing to death, these bots should have been shut down long ago.

Arbitrage and vulnerabilities, in plain words, just drinking poison to quench thirst.
---
The Red Sea isn't enough to describe this; it's completely a dead water pool.
---
How long can relying on rule loopholes last? Web3 is just that crazy.
---
Smart people are already creating real value; these bots are just a freebie.
---
Tightening risk control? Or is it that there are no more new retail investors in the market? Haha.
---
$72 a month to come out and mess around? Might as well do something real.
---
That's why I've always said that the opportunities in the crypto space come with more traps than opportunities.
---
On-chain data is all out there, and some still believe in this incentive scheme? Wake up, everyone.

Arbitrage models are dead, but exchanges still need to operate and profit, indicating that profits are flowing to the big players.

That's why I never touch those "quick arbitrage" schemes, it's too easy to get caught

$72 a month? Ha, I'd rather get a part-time job
---
Another wave of retail investors getting cut, it's always the same story
---
After all this time, these bots are only making this much money, no wonder they're desperately spamming
---
Exploiting rule loopholes is really pointless, they'll be blocked sooner or later
---
You just realized? I’ve known for a long time that this is just a scam to harvest retail investors
---
The crypto world always teaches people to remember lessons. To make money, you still have to do real work
---
Looking at this trend, it's clear the platform should take action. They should have disabled these bots long ago
---
Are you still chasing those arbitrage opportunities? I’ve already given up
---
This model is completely rotten. Who can it fool next?
