Bonk Guy Denies Paid Promotion Allegations, Returns to X After Account Lock

ME News reports that on September 22 (UTC+8), prominent trader Bonk Guy posted that his X account was locked a week ago after publishing a post about the Arc blockchain. X required him to label the post as “paid partnership,” or his account would remain suspended. The post mentioned three brands: Arc, Long, and Fomo. He had no prior interaction with Arc; his first contact with Long occurred after the post was published; and Fomo had consistently disclosed its referral relationships publicly. He emphasized that he received no payment or collaboration from Arc or Long. After further investigation, Bonk Guy learned that X appears to require the “paid partnership” label on any post containing referral links. Although he believes the label is inaccurate, he has decided to comply with the rules and resume using X. He again denied ever accepting paid promotions and revealed that Pumpfun had invited him to trade on their platform about a month ago, later proposing collaborations such as serving as a product advisor—all of which he declined. His reasons for refusal included misaligned values, believing the company had previously launched舆论 attacks against him, and not needing income through such partnerships. Bonk Guy stated he will continue pursuing commercial collaborations with products he genuinely supports and believes benefit his followers, provided he personally uses them, endorses them, and fully discloses the partnership. He said his return to X is primarily motivated by not wanting to be “banned from the platform,” and that he will adhere to X’s current rules. He added that he had “been憋了一周” and is ready to resume sharing his holdings, trades, and market insights. (Source: BlockBeats)
