Crypto Users Are Seeing Less Crypto Content on X—and They’re Asking Why
Summary
Cryptocurrency users have noticed a significant decrease in crypto-related posts on X (formerly Twitter), leading to concerns that the platform is deliberately suppressing this content. These concerns have been directed at Nikita Bier, X's Head of Product and a Solana advisor. Bier responded to complaints by stating that excessive low-value replies, like posting "gm" repeatedly, exhaust an account's daily reach, suggesting the community is causing its own decline ("CT is dying from suicide, not from the algorithm."). He also noted that quoting certain posts can affect feed recommendations for months. This explanation sparked backlash, with some users accusing Bier of intentionally damaging the crypto community's reach and highlighting a potential conflict of interest due to his Solana advisory role. Conversely, some commentators argue X has broader priorities, while others, like Ki Young Ju of CryptoQuant, suggest a surge in bot activity, which X allegedly fails to moderate effectively, is diluting legitimate content. Benjamin Cowen added that declining crypto engagement is a broader trend across social platforms.
