- Discussions about X filtering crypto posts have intensified on social media.
- The founder of CryptoQuant criticized the social media platform’s algorithm for failing to distinguish between AI-generated posts and human-generated content.
Ki Young Ju, founder of CryptoQuant, has recently reacted to what Nikita Bier, Head of Product on X, revealed about the social media platform significantly reducing the visibility of crypto-related posts. The crypto community joined his call for Elon Musk’s social media platform to implement measures to better distinguish automated artificial intelligence (AI) posts from organic, human-made content.
X Mass Filters Crypto Content
On Sunday, Ki revealed that crypto-related posts have been gaining massive traction on X during the last weekend. He attributed 7,754,367 posts to bots on Saturday, up 1,224% from the day before. The CryptoQuant founder traced most of these from Kaito’s artificial intelligence platform.
The event caused X’s algorithm to automatically crack down on every single piece of content related to crypto. The problem here, though, is that it didn’t only affect AI-prompted posts. It also impacted reliable and reputable accounts in the community.
Ki acknowledged that bots are inevitable amid rapid advances in AI. Besides Kaito, he blamed the issue on X’s inability to distinguish between bots and humans, despite having a paywall for verifying authentic users. He criticized the social media platform for choosing to ban crypto-related posts rather than improve its bot-detection.
The crypto community agreed with Ki’s sentiments. Its members urged X to step up its efforts to distinguish AI-generated posts from human-made content to filter spam effectively.
Confirmation from an Official on X
Ki’s remarks came in response to Bier’s now-deleted post. The latter got the ire of Crypto Twitter (CT) when he stated that the community “is dying from suicide, not from the algorithm.” Meanwhile, he refuted claims that X is censoring crypto content.
Bier explained that flooding posts with comments dilutes CT’s reach because the average user views only 20 to 30 posts per day. He said that users farming engagement by replying to trivial comments like “GM” (Good Morning) are only wasting their reach. As a result, their saturated engagement often leads to their important posts or announcements receiving less coverage.
The crypto community reminded Bier that X’s open suppression of CT content isolates a large niche that keeps the platform alive.
What Specific Posts are Getting Hit?
X’s suppression of posts related to crypto has been a subject of debate over the years. Members of the crypto community believe that the platform has been unfairly targeting them. The discussion intensified after the Musk-owned platform updated its algorithm in December 2025.
Bier’s post suggests that other insignificant posts like “WAGMI” (“We’re All Gonna Make It”) and “LFG” (“Let’s F’ing Go”) are getting the same treatment. However, many claim that the algorithm is also penalizing posts mentioning “crypto” and specific token tickers (such as BTC, ETH, USDT, XRP, BNB, and SOL).
Furthermore, users pointed out that even popular crypto terminologies like “altseason” and “100x” are getting hit by X’s algorithm.
