X head of product says 80 percent of crypto activity may be bots, spam not solvable by technology alone
Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, said spam replies on cryptocurrency accounts are difficult to solve with technology alone and claimed 80 percent of crypto activity may be bots. He pointed to a “second-degree reply” feature as a response, limiting participation to followers and followers’ followers. X is reportedly testing the feature for Premium+ subscribers. The comments suggest a shift from detection-focused measures toward access restrictions.
