X Product Manager Slammed for "Crypto Tweet Suicide by Cop," Sparking Backlash in Crypto Community

BlockBeats News, January 11th, X Product Lead and Solana Advisor Nikita Bier posted on the X platform, stating that since October last year, there has been a prevalent belief in Crypto Twitter (CT) that users need to reply hundreds of times a day to grow their account. However, each reply depletes some of their daily influence. Since the average user only scrolls through 20 to 30 posts a day, the platform cannot show all of a user's posts to all of their followers. As a result, Crypto Twitter users end up wasting all their influence on hundreds of "gm" replies, and when they post substantial content such as project announcements, only a few people pay attention. The decline of Crypto Twitter stems from its own behavior rather than an algorithm problem, leading to the statement that "Crypto Twitter is dying from suicide."

This statement has sparked discontent in the crypto community. LedgArt co-founder KALEO pointed out that Nikita Bier did not take a user-centric stance to support user growth and a long-term online community, instead attempting to stifle the crypto community on the X platform. KALEO called for Nikita Bier's resignation, and Nikita Bier has since deleted the related tweets.

In today's news, Musk announced that the new X platform algorithm will be open-sourced within 7 days, including all the code used to determine which organic search and ad content to recommend to users.
