Platform X has recently experienced a surge in cryptocurrency-related posts, with robot-generated content exceeding 7.74 million posts, a 1224% increase month-on-month. To cope with the content overload, the platform's algorithm has blocked a large number of posts, affecting users' experience in discussing cryptocurrency trends.

【ChainWen】A recent interesting phenomenon has emerged on the X platform. According to industry data analysis, over 7.74 million crypto-related posts were published by bots in a single day yesterday, representing a 1224% increase compared to the previous period. What was the result? X’s algorithm directly marginalized crypto-related content, and a large number of posts were blocked.

What does this reflect? First, the activity of bots in the crypto community is indeed astonishing. Second, the platform’s self-defense mechanism against content overload is also taking effect. When a massive influx of low-quality content occurs, the algorithm has no choice but to adopt a defensive stance. This has indeed caused quite a few troubles for users who want to discuss crypto trends and market movements on X.
