The crypto community is reacting as X restricts real users’ reach instead of controlling bots. CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju noted that the platform’s algorithms fail to distinguish between genuine and automated content, shadowing legitimate crypto posts. This has significantly reduced the visibility of crypto content on X.
Bots Shadow Crypto Accounts
According to Ju’s data, automated posts containing the keyword “crypto” reached 7.7 million in a single day, a surge of over 1,200% compared to previous levels. Ju said that while the algorithm attempts to curb high-volume, low-quality content, it inadvertently limits real users as well.
Ju wrote on social media:
“As AI advances, bots are inevitable. Kaito shares some blame, but X’s failure to distinguish bots from humans is the real problem. The verified paywall failed, and bots now pay to spam. It is absurd that X would rather ban crypto than improve its bot detection.”
Paid Verification Fails to Protect Users
X’s paid verification system allows bots to spam easily while restricting access for genuine crypto accounts. Ju added, “It seems easier for X to limit crypto than improve bot detection.” This issue has raised significant concerns among investors and content creators.
X Product Manager’s Perspective
X product lead Nikita Bier acknowledged that some of Crypto Twitter’s reach issues are self-inflicted. Bier explained that accounts posting excessively or replying with low-value messages consume their daily reach, reducing visibility when they later share important content.
“Crypto Twitter is dying from overposting, not the algorithm. Most users only see a limited number of posts per day,” Bier wrote.
Community Reaction
Despite the challenges, X remains a primary hub for crypto users, where investors and projects share market insights, on-chain analysis, and breaking news. The answer to “Why aren’t crypto posts showing up?” lies in the algorithms limiting real users while combating low-quality content.
