["White-Haired Stock God" Serenity Criticizes X: Paid Mutual Engagement Should Be Banned, or It Will Turn Into a Marketing Network] According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on September 11, "White-Haired Stock God" Serenity published a post criticizing the social media platform X, stating that X should crack down on all "engagement networks" where users pay others to quote or comment on their posts. She pointed out that some companies pay influencers to comment on or quote their posts. Additionally, they create batches of new affiliated accounts with names containing "Finance" or country names, and once these accounts grow to a certain scale, they boost engagement metrics through mutual post quoting and commenting. Serenity further explained that these affiliated accounts could eventually accumulate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of followers, leveraging their influence to increase the exposure of other affiliated accounts. She expressed concern that if this model continues to develop, X could ultimately be dominated by "engagement networks" centered around marketing company products, squeezing out independent and authentic voices on the platform.
