Crypto KOL AB Kuai.Dong says X's recent mass account bans likely target unauthorized data scraping.  
Using official API to fetch 200M tweets monthly costs over $200K, so projects like gmgn or ai16z may have used cheaper third-party crawlers.  
Accounts frequently mentioning these projects could be flagged as bots.  
High API costs also make some Web3 task platforms unsustainable.

Wow that’s super interesting how X’s API costs push projects to find creative solutions, though it’s tough for smaller platforms to keep up
