A Deep Dive into the 'Account Banning Tide' for Encrypted Users on Platform X!
KOL: It's all the fault of third-party crawlers and matrix accounts!
Recently, the prominent figure in the encrypted circle, AB Kuai.Dong (@_FORAB), published an article analyzing why Platform X suddenly cracked down on encrypted users, leading to a massive wave of account bans. He believes the most plausible explanation is that those who secretly scraped data without going through the official API have been targeted!
AB revealed that if a company wants to scrape 200 million tweets per month through the official X interface, it needs to fork out over $200,000! Many projects like gmgn, ai16z, eliza, to save some money, resorted to using third-party crawlers for data scraping, resulting in direct account bans. Additionally, accounts of bloggers who frequently mentioned these projects were also treated as matrix accounts and faced the same fate!
AB further added that this is also one of the reasons why some Web3 task platforms struggle to survive; the cost of API calls is too high, and the earnings are not enough to cover it!
