Kanye’s Crypto Journey Gets Significantly Weirder

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-28 11:58:17

Kanye West (or Ye, as he’s known now) last week announced his first foray into the cryptocurrency industry with what his X account said was a new memecoin, YZY. “The official Yeezy token just dropped,” said a bored-looking West in a video posted on his X account. This, in and of itself, was somewhat bizarre (West had previously sworn off memecoins) and some web users speculated that the video may have been AI-generated. The coin immediately skyrocketed in value, climbing—in the span of a few ho

An illustrated guide to OAuth

OAuth was first introduced in 2007. It was created at Twitter because Twitter wanted a way to allow third-party apps to post tweets on users' behalf. Take a second to imagine designing something like that today. How would you do it? One way would just be to ask the user for their username and password. So you create an unofficial Twitter client, and present the user a login screen that says "log in with Twitter". The user does so, but instead of logging into Twitter, they're actually sending the

In an effort to cut down on abuse and fake engagement, Elon Musk’s X is removing access to two key features of its developer API for those on the free plan. Now, free users will no longer be able to use the API to like posts on behalf of a user, nor follow other users. The company says these changes will help protect X’s platform from “spam, bots, and manipulative activities” that degrade the user experience.
