【Block Rhythm】Nikita Bier is the product lead of the X platform and also an advisor for the Solana ecosystem. Recently, he responded to a hot controversy on social media.

Some users complained that X’s creator incentive mechanism has degraded the quality of replies under popular tweets, leading to spam content and bots, and blamed the InfoFi platform for it. In response, Bier directly corrected this misunderstanding.

His core point is very clear: you misunderstood. The way X calculates creator earnings has actually been changed long ago — reply count is no longer included in the revenue calculation. Only views on the Home Timeline are factored into earnings. In other words, users trying to profit by creating spam content in reply sections simply won’t succeed.

This clarification is quite important for understanding the Solana ecosystem and X platform’s creator incentive model. Many people might have misconceptions about these mechanisms, and Bier’s statement effectively dispels some of these misunderstandings.

Haha, so replying doesn't actually make money. Those who are constantly spamming useless replies should wake up.

Oh, I see now. The reason for so much spam in the reply area is actually something else.

Oh, I was just saying why the reply section is so terrible. Turns out they changed the rules a long time ago.

Haha, it turns out that replying doesn't actually make money, no wonder so many people are spamming garbage below. Forget it, I'll just honestly promote the main project. X's mechanism is actually quite clever, cutting off the water army's income. It should have been done a long time ago, finally some peace and quiet. I think Bier's words should be heard by more people, so as not to wrongly accuse InfoFi anymore.
