Recently, Paul has been unwilling to open Twitter, I wonder if you all feel the same as I do? What do you see every day on X? I think most people are like me, overwhelmed by various Infofi projects, many of which contain similar content and repeat every day. This information overshadows the useful information that many users want to know.
So today let's talk about the existing problems with Infofi:
1. Too much homogenized content
We all know whether it's a project or a person, with so many people analyzing online, the perspectives are already quite similar. Once all the angles have been analyzed, it's just a big copycat situation. But does copying or referencing articles still align with the original intent of Infofi? Does that leave any motivation for users who genuinely write valuable information?
Solution: Tiered rewards, sorting posts by time, value, etc., and subsequently determining similarity to allocate tiered rewards.
2. Fragmented information
Currently, the Infofi-related platforms we know include @cookiedotfun, @yapyo_arb, and @KaitoAI. I believe there will be more such platforms in the future, which will lead to user fragmentation and data fragmentation.
Solution: Establish a unified data protocol to integrate various platforms, which is quite challenging.
3. Unfairness
Why do we say there's unfairness? We all know that on the @cookiedotfun platform, some users have default points upon entry, allowing them to invite users directly. Many people receive base points without providing any information, especially since most points come from invites.
Solution: Level the playing field for everyone, reduce the proportion of invitation points.
4. Falsity of information
If information is just 'information', it has no effect. Information needs to be given value and usefulness to others. Many people publish articles merely by querying AI, which may provide false information, so users need to discern for themselves.
Solution: Implement a relevant punishment mechanism for users who publish false information.
5. Users pursuing rewards by any means necessary
The core of Infofi is that users provide valuable information to receive rewards, so this reward is central, enabling users to continuously output. However, many people may try to excessively flatter project parties for rewards. Is this kind of flattery really good? Flattering information only highlights the benefits of a project and does not address its drawbacks, leading users to mistakenly judge investment failures later on.
