🟢Kaito Introduces the 100 Yaps Barrier
Good evening. This is Marui from InfoFi Japan. I'm honored that so many of you responded to my post about the smart follower list.
Now, some slightly disappointing news has come in for those who want to seriously tackle @KaitoAI .
The issue is that “you can't get on the leaderboard without 100 Yaps.”
Since opinions will vary, I'd like to share my thoughts on the pros, cons, and potential countermeasures.
I myself was planning to try @MemeMax_Fi , but I might not even be able to get started.
⭕️Positive Points
・Countermeasures against bots and spam accounts
・Reduced meaningless posts due to the higher barrier
The overall takeaway is that the hurdle is raised.
Whether you see this as good or bad is personal, but raising the bar brings many benefits.
Particularly, the fact that it helps combat bots, as mentioned above, is undeniable. In my country, Japan, the constant barrage of meaningless posts is deeply disliked, and many people dislike InfoFi itself because of this.
Therefore, I believe the benefits of this change are significant.
❌ Negative Points
・Unequal opportunities
・Difficulty for newcomers to join
・Advantage for KOLs
To be honest, I have many reservations about this change.
The primary reason is that I had hoped InfoFi could become a countermeasure against meaningless marketing. That said, if InfoFi itself becomes a meaningless marketing tactic, it loses its purpose, so various countermeasures should be tested.
However, it's very disappointing that participation has become difficult unless you've already acquired 100 Yaps or are an established KOL.
Kaito recently celebrated its 1st anniversary, and during this period, heroes like @usoppu emerged—growing from a relatively small account with around 300 followers to a major presence.
It's truly disappointing to think such growth might become harder to achieve.
Small accounts aren't inherently inferior; some offer sharp insights or generate significant income. It's sad that these accounts may become harder to recognize.
⚔️How to fight back?
As the founder of InfoFi JAPAN, focusing on new support is a must.
We need to provide opportunities for those who want to take on challenges.
Unfortunately, I myself haven't reached 100 Yaps yet.
This isn't the time for me to be talking big.
However, hoping to be of some help, I've spent over a month compiling an Inner Circle CT list of over 700 people.
I believe such lists can offer some support.
Recently, our Korean Smart Followers have been very friendly, growing alongside our Japanese members.
My Smart Followers started at around 12 when I registered Kaito, and have now grown to 66.
From here, I'll actively increase interactions and aim for 100 Yaps.
To spread InfoFi in Japan, I sincerely ask for your support.
