Crypto Becomes Most-Muted Topic on X, With AI Slop Suspected as Main Cause

X has long been a key platform for crypto projects, investors and opinion leaders to share news and exchange views. But an influx of automated accounts and AI-generated content has increased repetitive posts, engagement bait and low-quality promotion. That has eroded the credibility of information and made it harder for users to find valuable market discussions.

The latest data from X shows that crypto has become the topic users mute most often since the feature was launched. Analysts say AI-generated spam, commonly called “AI slop,” may be the main reason. The report did not disclose the exact measurement period, number of mutes or any amounts involved, but the trend reflects growing user fatigue with crypto content.
