Nic Carter, co-founder of Castle Island Ventures and known as the "father of smart contracts," has expressed support for the X platform's decision to revoke API access for the InfoFi application. Carter highlighted that incentivized posting and AI on platforms like Kaito have led to a surge in low-quality content. He noted that the crypto community's initial appeal was in grassroots competition, but the focus has shifted towards stablecoins and financial infrastructure, aligning more with institutional narratives. Carter also criticized the X platform's "de-niche" design, which prioritizes broad recommendations over niche community engagement, making it harder for professional crypto content to gain visibility. He emphasized that this shift has made it challenging for retail investors to participate fairly and benefit from the crypto market, leading to reduced engagement. The revocation of InfoFi's API access is seen as a step towards reducing spam and improving content quality on the platform.
