X users mute cryptocurrency more than other topics as spam and paid InfoFi posts trigger attention fatigue

Data shared by X product head Nikita Bier shows cryptocurrency has become the most snoozed (muted) topic on X since the platform introduced a topic-snooze feature, ranking ahead of politics, the Iran conflict, sports, business and finance, gaming, artificial intelligence, videos, science and entertainment ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

Reporting and X officials point to automated spam and so-called InfoFi platforms as primary drivers of low-quality cryptocurrency posts that users are muting en masse; X adjusted its API rules in January to stop platforms from compensating users for crypto-related posts in an effort to curb that amplification ^[2].

Analysts and commentators note the snooze metric may reflect attention fatigue rather than adoption trends — "crypto may have the opposite problem" of excessive low-quality attention — and the development prompted discussion on Reddit and coverage across multiple outlets ^{[1] [4] [3]}.

The snooze data highlights user fatigue with crypto content on X and shows platform policy changes aimed at reducing paid or automated amplification, according to X and media reports ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
