Odaily Planet Daily News CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that the X platform is suppressing the reach of cryptocurrency-related posts while failing to curb the proliferation of automated spam, effectively punishing legitimate users. Data shows that automated activity related to the “crypto” keyword has surged, generating over 7.7 million posts daily. Ki Young Ju pointed out that the X platform cannot distinguish between automated accounts and real accounts, and the paid verification system has become a mass messaging tool for bots.
X platform product manager Nikita Bier responded that the visibility issue in the crypto community is partly due to users over-posting low-value content, such as repeatedly sending “gm”, which dilutes the daily reach of accounts. In response to these remarks, Ki Young Ju countered that the X platform would rather ban crypto content than improve bot detection, a practice he considers absurd. Currently, the X platform remains the primary real-time communication hub for the crypto industry.
