He said the flood of low-quality posts is triggering algorithmic crackdowns that also hit legitimate crypto accounts and reduce their visibility.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blockquote-block_2607392b227fc1c83d6d732245190f8a\" class=\"blockquote-container variant-personal\">\n<div class=\"blockquote-text\">\n<p>As AI advances, bots are inevitable. Kaito shares some blame, but X\u2019s failure to distinguish bots from humans is the real problem. The verified paywall failed, and bots now pay to spam.

He said many of them burn through their daily distribution with low-effort replies such as repeated \u201cgm\u201d comments, leaving little reach when they later post real updates.<\/p>\n<p>But CryptoQuant\u2019s CEO rejects that framing, saying the bigger driver is automated spam and that X is restricting crypto content because it just cannot control bots.<\/p>\n<p>Ju also criticised X\u2019s paid verification, arguing it no longer works as a quality filter because bots can buy verification and continue spamming.
