CryptoQuant founder: X platform would rather restrict crypto content than improve bot detection

According to ChainCatcher, CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju stated that the X platform is suppressing the influence of cryptocurrency-related posts, yet has failed 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 is unable to distinguish between automated and real user accounts, and that the paid verification system has become a mass-posting tool for bots.

Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, responded by saying that the visibility issues in the crypto community are partly due to users excessively posting low-value content, such as repeatedly sending "gm," which dilutes the daily reach of accounts. In response, Ki Young Ju commented that X would rather ban crypto content than improve bot detection, calling this approach absurd. Currently, the X platform remains a major real-time communication hub for the crypto industry.
