CryptoQuant Founder: X Platform Prefers Restricting Crypto Content Over Improving Bot Detection

Odaily News CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that the X platform is suppressing the reach of cryptocurrency-related posts while failing to curb the surge of automated spam, effectively punishing legitimate users. Data shows that automated activity related to the keyword "crypto" has surged, generating over 7.7 million posts in a single day. Ki Young Ju pointed out that the X platform cannot distinguish between automated accounts and real human accounts, and its paid verification system has become a mass-posting tool for bots.

X platform's Product Lead, Nikita Bier, responded to this, stating that the visibility issues for the crypto community partly stem from users excessively posting low-value content, such as repeatedly sending "gm," which dilutes an account's daily reach. In response to these remarks, Ki Young Ju countered that it is absurd for the X platform to prefer banning crypto content over improving bot detection. Currently, the X platform remains a primary real-time communication hub for the crypto industry.
