The 'infofi' narrative just collapsed faster than anyone expected. X to earn schemes are following right behind. Here's the real problem: attention economy is becoming the new epidemic this decade—constant noise pollution drowning out signal from signal. We're witnessing what happens when tokenomics meets infinite incentives. The market's flooded with worthless information-based tokens designed purely to extract engagement. Without some kind of correction mechanism (call it a GLP-1 moment for crypto's chronic attention-inflation pandemic), this spiral gets worse. The ecosystem needs serious recalibration—quality over quantity.

There is too much noise, I really can't listen anymore, it's all scam coins screaming. It's not surprising that infofi collapsed so quickly; it was always just a facade. That X earning mechanism is hilarious, pulling in a bunch of newbies and then running away. I agree that quality > quantity, but these project teams don't listen at all. The ecosystem is completely rotten; someone needs to take serious action. In this round, the projects that actually do work have been drowned out. Once the incentive mechanism is turned on infinitely, everything can be turned into a coin, it's crazy.

This wave of cutting leeks really is happening at a deadly fast speed. Where's the promised next hundredfold? Another big pump fails, and the ecosystem is still flooding with tokens. Too much noise, too few signals. Now, browsing on the chain is just a sea of trash coins. Basically, the incentive mechanism is broken, and it's an endless game of participation. Quality—Web3 seems to have never seriously considered this.

It's the same old scam again, I've seen through it all Too much noise, too weak signals, who can still tell what's a real project Unlimited incentives mean unlimited harvesting, nothing new Quality? Are you joking? The market only cares about hype If infofi collapses, X will be buried with it, it's only a matter of time Tokenomics is completely broken, everything needs to be started over The ecosystem needs a cure, but no one is willing to take the bitter medicine Another round of harvesting the leeks, the script has just repeated itself
