Crack down on the currency circle: Musk announced a ban on soliciting people on X, such as asking users to retweet/comment/like/@

Many foreigners who use X/Twitter often encounter being @@ by strangers. This is generally used for advertisements, and quite a few of them are used by currency circles to attract people.

For example, when some currency projects are about to be released or airdropped, users are required to follow the project's account, forward promotional posts, comment under the posts, like the posts, and require at least three Aite friends, etc.

Of course, it doesn’t matter whether you are a friend or not. What is important is that the three people at Aite let people know about this project, plus several other operations to do free publicity for this project. This is essentially advertising.

Today, Elon Musk posted on Your own content farm.

It will not only be the accounts of participants who have the above behavior that will be frozen. Musk has said that he will trace the source, so the accounts that publish these task information may also be traced and frozen.

It is worth noting that this new policy does not specifically refer to the currency circle. For example, when some companies or developers launch new products, the lottery activities used will also require users to follow, forward, like, comment, etc., although it is not the currency circle. That kind of very excessive marketing behavior may also be accidentally injured.

Therefore, enterprises and developers should set as few conditions as possible when using the lottery next time, such as requiring attention and forwarding, and try not to set too many requirements to avoid triggering the X security system and causing account bans.

Of course, this new policy is definitely negative news for the currency circle. After all, a large number of projects in the currency circle are conducting publicity on X. If they are banned after a wave of publicity, it may not be worth the gain.
