A product leader from a major social platform recently publicly discussed the issue of declining traffic in the crypto community discussion areas, and then deleted the related comments.

The point is quite harsh: the traffic decline is not due to platform algorithm discrimination; the root cause is the cumulative backlash from low-quality interactions.

What does the data say? Official platform statistics show that the average user's daily attention resources are particularly tight, with only 20 to 30 pieces of content being scanned each day. This number seems normal, but the problem lies precisely here — the volume of posts and interaction frequency in the crypto community far exceeds this threshold.

As a result, users become increasingly lazy to scroll, and the platform's recommendation mechanism begins to "protect" users' attention by automatically reducing the exposure of such high-frequency content. When many accounts are repeatedly reposting, mechanically interacting, and mindlessly following trends, the entire ecosystem falls into a vicious cycle — more content leads to a lower signal-to-noise ratio; the lower the signal-to-noise ratio, the easier it is for truly valuable discussions to be drowned out.

This actually reflects a deeper issue: the content ecosystem of the crypto community urgently needs optimization. Instead of complaining about algorithms, we should reflect on what kind of discussion environment we are creating.
