Ever since Elon Musk took over X which was formerly known as Twitter, there are no doubts that there have been significant changes to the application, some which are good and some which have spoilt the thrill of it. Another aspect that I think spoiled the thrill was the rules of it which I think have changed and anything you do that goes against it can get your account closed permanently, maybe that’s part of the fight against bots or scammers. Another significant change was when Elon started paying people based on their ad revenue.
The issue or aspect of paying users based on their ad revenue is a good thing no one can deny, it has made users more active and determined to generate ads for the application but it has also given room for scammers showcasing fake crypto projects making crypto enthusiasts do all the necessary work which is now mainly based on twitter and interacting with their tweets just to get or generate ads/impressions to get paid.
Before crypto projects launched, there used to be minimum tasks required like following their page, minting an NFT, pre-sale, and joining their discord or telegram channels and when it launches those qualified definitely get the airdrops but now you see projects asking for more. For example, Zeal is a platform that crypto projects use for specific tasks (which is a good thing) however, some crypto projects have started taking advantage of it by making the community or users perform tasks sampling by interacting with their tweets either their project page or a sponsor or someone involved with them, and these tasks come in every minute, and they are done ONLY on twitter. So, what does that say?
It could also be that’s the only way to build their community but the tasks are getting too much, especially on X (Twitter) and talking from experience, my account got banned permanently around the same time I started engaging in a particular crypto project tweets it can be a coincidence but still, I don’t know how many people have been affected but one thing is certain and that’s due to the monthly payment to users who generates revenue there are going to be more fake crypto projects getting in on it too.
Also, it won't be a surprise if the legit crypto projects also promise an airdrop or a launch of a new project just to generate ads and even the ones that have promised to release an airdrop will end up postponing or give more tasks to also dive into the pool of generating more ad revenues to get paid.
