An interesting question arises regarding how X handles the spam phenomenon within the crypto community. Ki Young Ju from CryptoQuant raised a rather critical point: the platform simply prefers to limit the visibility of crypto content rather than addressing the real issue of automated bots.



According to CryptoQuant data, automated activities related to the crypto keyword have reached impressive numbers, with over 7.7 million posts generated in a single day. But here’s the paradox: while X prefers to penalize legitimate users by reducing the reach of crypto posts, it actually fails to contain the wave of spam messages. Ki Young Ju pointed out that the paid verification system has become essentially a tool in the hands of bots for large-scale spam operations because the platform does not adequately distinguish between automated accounts and real accounts.

When Nikita Bier, X’s product manager, tried to justify the situation, he pointed the finger at the users themselves, claiming that the visibility problem stems from low-value content, such as the continuous repetition of 'gm'. An explanation that did not convince Ki Young Ju, who countered by calling the strategy X prefers to adopt absurd: blocking content instead of improving bot detection.

What’s interesting is that despite these issues, X remains the main real-time communication hub for the crypto industry. In short, it’s the lesser evil for those operating in this space, at least for now.
