These apps rewarded users for engagement, which pushed many accounts to post more often.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, X changed its API policies in January to block apps that paid users to post. The move aimed to reduce low-quality content and automated crypto engagement farming.<\/p>\n<p>Bier also said some Crypto Twitter accounts hurt their own reach by overposting. He pointed to repeated low-value replies, including messages such as \u201cgm.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju rejected that view. He said the real issue was AI spam and wrote, \u201cIt is absurd that X would rather ban crypto than improve its bot detection.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Crypto interest remains weak<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The mute data comes as crypto market sentiment remains cautious.
