Labels like HighCryptoSpamScore (visible in leaked dev screenshots) suggest that tweets or accounts heavily associated with crypto get flagged more aggressively.

The original publications are in English. Navigation is available in seven languages.

Last week: viral tweets.

This week: barely 200 impressions in an hour.

Reason?

The new X algorithm nuked a lot of crypto accounts and there’s even a "CryptoSpamScore"

Likely what’s happening:

X seems to have rolled out stricter brand-safety and spam filters.

Labels like HighCryptoSpamScore (visible in leaked dev screenshots) suggest that tweets or accounts heavily associated with crypto get flagged more aggressively.

These flags can quietly throttle reach without banning accounts, essentially shadow-limiting impressions.

Combined with dilution from too many low-quality or scammy crypto posts, the algo may be suppressing the entire category to protect advertisers and improve feed quality.

Legit accounts get caught in the crossfire, so your content sees far less distribution even if it’s genuine.

This platform keeps getting less transparent and there’s no real way to improve, since we’re never told what the algo considers good or bad.

Pls try to like and rt our stuff and help us come out from here.
