CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju pointed out that over 7.75 million crypto-related posts were published by bots on the X platform, leading to the related topics being suppressed by the recommendation algorithm. This indicates that spam content from automated accounts has flooded genuine discussions, serving as a reminder for the crypto community to prioritize ecosystem quality.

【Crypto World】An interesting phenomenon. CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju recently pointed out that bots on the X platform posted over 7.75 million crypto-related posts in a short period, a year-over-year increase of 1,224%. What was the result? This directly led to “cryptocurrency” related topics being blocked by X’s recommendation algorithm.

In simple terms, the大量垃圾内容 from bots ended up drowning out genuine crypto discussions. This highlights an interesting issue—when automated accounts dominate the public discourse, authentic voices are more likely to be filtered out by algorithms. For the crypto community, this is also a reminder: ecosystem quality is often more important than popularity.

Funny, the robot ended up destroying itself—truly, shooting oneself in the foot. --- 7.75 million posts just to get blocked—how inefficient is that? --- Is quality more important than popularity? Uh, that sounds a bit ironic in the crypto world. --- So, the more trash there is, the more it turns into noise—even the algorithms find it annoying. --- That's why I no longer browse the crypto tags on X; it's all just bots' ramblings. --- A 1224% increase leading to being muted—I really can't help but laugh. --- Another lesson that "quality is important"—will anyone learn from it next time? --- Robot: I'll help you hype it up. X Algorithm: I'll help you mute it. --- By the way, how was this data collected? Is Ki Young Ju reliable? --- Ecosystem quality, huh? Then why are there still so many scams?

Oh my, 7.75 million bot posts? This must be a joke, hilarious. Flood of bots drowning out genuine voices, a classic case of bad money driving out good, is this the X algorithm? Quality > Popularity, that’s not wrong to say, but who cares now? This is what Web3 looks like now, false prosperity. Bots are more active than real people, what a satire. Blocking crypto topics? X’s algorithm is really strict, can they learn from others? 1224% growth sounds impressive, but it’s all trash in reality. The algorithm blocking content actually makes it feel more like a barrier, haha. Feels like this kind of situation is everywhere in crypto forums, really annoying. The ecosystem is destroyed by these low-quality bots. This wave on X is a self-inflicted wound, the consequences of no content moderation.

7.75 million robot spam emails, hilarious. Is this the current state of Web3? Oh my, if the algorithm blocks us all in one screen, we're done? It should have been like this a long time ago. Robots flooding the real voices, this is just funny. Compared to popularity, I care more about whether the projects that can make money are genuine or not. This trick is old, robot spamming and then getting banned, and then a new round. Quality > Popularity, that's true, but who cares? Did the algorithm kill crypto discussions? Ha, the community is quite resilient.

Robot Wars has started again, X's algorithm is really outrageous, it's becoming more and more like a trash heap 7.75 million posts, increasing by 1000% in one day? How many bots does that take? Outrageous The truly interesting voices are drowned out, spam bots have won The X platform has fallen, quality has plummeted The algorithm has been messed up, this is what Web3 looks like now Topics are being censored haha, this irony is pretty good These trash accounts should have been regulated long ago, so annoying The quality voices really should be heard, don’t just focus on increasing numbers

7.75 million posts have been blocked, how trash is that haha Bot: I'll help you generate some buzz X: Get out Real voices are drowned out, I totally get it Another bunch of bots messing up the ecosystem, this trick is old This is what you call shooting yourself in the foot The explosion of spam actually kills genuine discussion, what a logic The algorithm sees it's all nonsense and directly bans crypto topics, hilarious If the ecosystem isn't good, they just rely on data to deceive themselves, speechless

Now it's all good, the robot played itself to death haha --- Another day of robot screw-ups, so annoying --- 7.75 million spam posts, the level of absurdity is touching, even the algorithm is speechless --- Quality > Popularity, someone should have said this long ago, now I understand --- Just block them if you want, so you don't have to see a bunch of messy stuff --- Robots flooding real discussions, this is becoming more and more common --- 1224% growth? Purely suicidal, no way out --- I just want to ask, why haven't these robot accounts been cleaned up yet?

Robot 1224% growth, but it drowns out genuine discussions—anyone would be annoyed by this. --- 7.75 million spam posts forcibly block crypto topics; even the algorithm is baffled. --- Honestly, who can still find real voices on X now? It's all bot noise. --- Quality of the ecosystem > popularity; there's no fault in that, but the reality is that traffic still rules. --- Ki Young Ju is right; inflated popularity is useless, we still need to focus on substance. --- 7.77 million bot posts, once the algorithm kicks in, it's game over—so ironic. --- The blocking mechanism actually harms genuine discussions; this logic is indeed flawed. --- Bots are everywhere, it's a fate X can't escape from. --- If quality issues aren't addressed, all the popularity is meaningless—that's true. --- 1224% growth sounds impressive, but it's all just spam posts—laughable.
