My problems with @virtuals_io:

(For context, I've been staking $Vader, experimenting, yapping, etc.)

- Bot farming: This is probably the biggest issue. Because of how heavily yapping is weighted, you can essentially just spam virtual posts and get yaps to participate in drops. Trading is also heavily weighted because they don't make money from you holding/staking (which is fair).

Guess what - it's a botters paradise. Just run a bunch of Twitter accounts, start engaging with smart followers and create a network. Bam, you can participate in every drop even with the cooldown. This is the problem with infofi in general.

- X API is just an API: The information being pulled on X comes just from a pull. The only information you get from Twitter is the posts that people engage or tag you in. You can search by hashtag/cashtag/@/etc. But filtering of content remains relatively rudimentary. With AI, it will be even more difficult to sort.

- Airdrop selling: Didn't even know i got some tokens when it started and sold off to get some gas. Now I don't get airdrops. This account is basically useless in participating, minus my linking my twitter.

- AI vaporware: Let's be honest, there are a few devs actually deving.

- SO MANY 10X: welcome to liquidity pools. You raise money, set up a LP with 10% liquidity/mcap -> 10x initial mcap. You need volume to be able to exit positions properly. You need LP rewards for putting up virtuals/token pair. This will be a major issue.

There are a lot of positives which I have mentioned previously, virtuals are always deving away on new things.

Am I way off?
