Recently, the number of crypto-related posts on platform X has surged to 7.75 million, a 1224% increase, leading the platform to block related content. This reflects the high level of discussion enthusiasm in the crypto market and also warns that automated posting behaviors may interfere with the genuine discussion environment.

【Blockchain Rhythms】 Recently, there has been an interesting phenomenon worth noting. According to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, the day before yesterday, the robot on the X platform posted over 7.75 million crypto-related posts in a single day, a surge of 1224% month-over-month. This spike directly caused the platform’s recommendation algorithm to heavily block content related to “cryptocurrency.” The underlying logic is not hard to understand—when the volume of a certain type of content surges so many times in a short period, the platform’s anti-spam mechanism naturally treats it as abnormal traffic. This also reflects how high the discussion activity around crypto markets is on social media, and it also reminds us to be cautious of how such automated posting behaviors can disrupt genuine discussion environments.

7.75 million posts suddenly surged in one day, it's really outrageous... Feels like the anti-spam mechanism on the X platform is a bit too sensitive. Robots flooding the platform so aggressively, no wonder the algorithm directly hides encrypted content. This move actually ended up harming those who genuinely wanted to discuss. 1224%... How high does this number have to be to be considered outrageous? How to distinguish between spam traffic and genuine discussion? I think that's a real challenge. But on the other hand, what does it mean that the heat has increased so many times? The market is indeed hot. The black hand is behind the scenes causing trouble, and ordinary users are suffering, which is outrageous. Instead of blocking, why doesn't the platform directly crack down on robot accounts? Feels like X's approach is a bit of a passive defense. Anyway, now discussing encryption on X requires being more cautious.

7.75 million posts? Is this spam or what the hell is going on Robots are really crazy, and X's algorithm is suffering too Those who genuinely want to discuss the crypto world are drowned out, it's outrageous It's the same anti-spam mechanism again, called protection in a nice way but actually just blind blocking These automated accounts are really disgusting, experts at ruining the discussion atmosphere 1224% surge, how can that be from real users, it's definitely some institutions manipulating the trend So, the crypto discussions on X are getting more and more superficial now Exactly, with more bots, the real voices are gone These days, even social platforms can't control their own content Good blocking, it should target these spam posts Anyway, everything is drowned out, might as well just go to Telegram for discussions 7.75 million? I even suspect this number might be exaggerated

7.75 million posts? How many bots are collectively celebrating? Why does it feel like X's algorithm has been getting dumber lately... Blocking encrypted content, this trick is pretty slick Bots ruining the discussion environment, really need to regulate them 1224% is indeed outrageous, but whether this data is real or not remains to be seen That's why Twitter is full of trash posts... The algorithm counteracts the garbage it creates, which is a bit ironic

7.75 million posts are posted in a day, how many bots does that take? Outrageous. Algorithm blocking is also forced; there's just too much spam, really can't survive. Anyway, the discussion about crypto on Twitter is always hot, spamming is the norm. These automated posts are really annoying, drowning out valuable voices. A 1224% surge... just looks outrageous, the platform definitely needs to clean up.

7.75 million posts? How many bots does that take? Ridiculous. One-size-fits-all algorithm blocking—those who actually discuss are the unluckiest. This is why Twitter is now full of spam, and it's impossible to find valuable content. Automated posting has destroyed the entire discussion environment. It's devastating. How can there still be so many script kiddies in the crypto community... A 1224% increase—this number clearly looks like manipulation before a dump. Anyway, you can't see anything genuine on Twitter now, full blocking.

7.75 million posts a day? How many bots does that take? LOL The algorithm's one-screen blocking makes it completely silent; the platform's anti-censorship system is really tough It's the marketing accounts causing trouble again, genuine discussions are drowned out 1224%—that number looks outrageous, someone must be spamming Good job on the blocking; at least you can still see some real opinions The crypto community is hot, but being polluted like this is really speechless I just want to see a few genuine discussions, why are they all robots?

7.75 million posts? How many bots does that take, lol Good job on blocking, purify the algorithm ecosystem Authentic discussions are drowned out, this is the most heartbreaking part These numbers are so outrageous I can't believe they're real The number of spam posts is so high that the algorithm is crashing Sounds like some project teams are frantically pumping up the market, a very typical tactic Why does it feel like X's anti-spam mechanism is a bit overprotective Seven million seven hundred fifty thousand a day, how many bot farms are running? Instead of blocking, why not just ban those spam accounts directly? I was wondering why I couldn't find valuable discussions on X lately no matter how much I refresh

7.75 million posts a day? How many bots does that take? LOL The algorithm countermeasures are so quick, no wonder recent crypto posts have disappeared Good blocking, let's purify the feed That's why no one is watching my posts now Trash bots are really annoying, ruining the entire discussion atmosphere X is getting more and more competitive
