X ‘cop’ unveils active user dashboard in content optimization rollout
X product chief Nikita Bier shipped a new “active user” content-optimization dashboard while continuing aggressive moderation of crypto-related spam and engagement manipulation. The feature shows the number and percentage of followers active in the past 24 hours and complements prior moves — revoking InfoFi API access, auto-locking first-time crypto posters, and muting crypto as a top Snooze Topic — that aim to reduce bot-driven activity. For crypto markets, stricter enforcement and clearer product signals on X may lower artificial engagement, improving signal quality from social channels (potentially affecting on-chain and sentiment-driven flows for assets like Bitcoin and Solana). The update reinforces X’s dual push: expand financial features (X Money, wallet testing) while policing abusive crypto incentives.
