Crypto has emerged as the most-snoozed topic on X's For You feed since the platform introduced its topic snoozing feature for Premium subscribers. X product head Nikita Bier revealed that users mute crypto more than politics, sports, business, AI, or global conflicts. The data highlights growing user fatigue amid Bitcoin's market rebound.
X product executive Nikita Bier announced that crypto ranks as the top muted topic on the platform's For You feed, ahead of politics, sports, business and finance, artificial intelligence, gaming, and entertainment. The snooze feature, rolled out starting April 22 for Premium users, allows hiding topics for 24 hours. Bier described it as a tool to “crank up or turn down the slop,” referring to low-quality content flooding feeds. CryptoSlate reported the disclosure on April 30, as Bitcoin traded near $76,000, down over 24 hours but up 14% over 30 days from below its October 2025 peak above $126,000. The ranking underscores a split between crypto enthusiasts and broader users weary of repetitive posts, spam, bots, and promotional content. Bier noted that much crypto activity appears bot-driven, with no technology fully solving spam replies. CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju countered that AI-generated spam overwhelms legitimate accounts, criticizing X's bot detection. Earlier, Bier attributed Crypto Twitter's visibility issues to overposting and low-value replies like repeated “gm” greetings, sparking backlash from the community. New features like Custom Timelines and Smart Cashtags aim to refine feeds, letting users pin topics or view real-time crypto charts. Yet Google Trends shows declining worldwide search interest in “bitcoin” and “crypto” into April, while the Fear & Greed Index lingers at 29 in “Fear” territory. CoinShares reported $1.4 billion in weekly inflows to digital assets, the strongest since January, supporting Bitcoin via institutional channels despite muted social engagement.
