It's rare to see voices from the crypto community in the feed these days. It's not about project or coin price discussions, but everyone is complaining about the same thing — the entire platform has changed.

Small and niche crypto communities are being pushed out. In their place, there's marketing noise, low-quality content, and irrelevant trending topics. The space for Web3 discussions is shrinking.

Once, social platforms were gathering places for crypto enthusiasts, but now it feels like they've been marginalized. Things really can't go back to the way they were.

Bro, you're so right. Now when I scroll through Twitter, it's all marketing accounts and crappy content, I can't find any valuable discussions. Forget it, I won't watch anymore. I'll go straight to Telegram and Discord, that's where the real community is. This is the fate of centralized platforms—more and more commercialized, and the original people have all dispersed. It was actually predictable. The Web3 discussion space was already bottlenecked, and it's no surprise it's been pushed into the corner. Not going back to the way it was? Brother, that's exactly the reason for decentralization.

ngl this hits different... back in my mining days we had actual signal, now it's just algorithmic garbage drowning out everything. gas fees weren't even our biggest problem then lol

Everyone is starting to hype hot topics, who still cares about Web3? --- Really, small communities are being squeezed to death, and platforms are now just marketing hubs. --- Can't go back to the way things were? It's been impossible for a long time, now it's just filled with low-quality content. --- This is the fate of platformization, as traffic increases, it starts to turn sour. --- Crypto discussions are truly marginalized, the information flow is full of trash. --- Too much noise, useful voices have long been drowned out. --- The era of small but refined communities is over, now it's all about who can market. --- Transforming from professional communities into marketing platforms, it's quite ironic.

The algorithms are getting more and more absurd, there's really nowhere to discuss technology anymore. The platform is killing the community, what can we do? I miss the discussion atmosphere back then, now it's all spam. The voices of Web3 have been drowned out, it feels like the platform doesn't really support us. That's probably why many people have switched to Telegram.

Algorithms have killed the small circles, now all that's trending are some kind of nonsense Really, the voices of Web3 have been drowned out, and all the traffic has been taken by those marketing accounts I miss the moments of in-depth discussion, now it's just endless noise Is this the fate of platforms? Good things are always pushed out by low-quality content We should have built our own base long ago, don't expect centralized platforms anymore Haha, being marginalized is a perfect term, we've really become the outliers It's ridiculous, hot topics explode every day, and our discussions are treated like air Small but refined communities can't survive anymore, what a pity The platform has changed its flavor, and we can never go back to that feeling I'm a bit worried about how to attract people in the future, but I accept it

Really, scrolling through a circle full of unnutritious content, where is the space for Web3 discussions? --- The small and refined communities have been squeezed out, now it's all marketing accounts hyping up stuff. --- I miss the deep discussion atmosphere from before; it's really impossible to go back now. --- Being marginalized means it's over; the platform really has changed its flavor. --- It's all noise at a glance; you have to dig three feet underground to find something useful. --- The voice of the crypto community is getting smaller and smaller, everyone can see that. --- Low-quality content is everywhere; what about quality discussions? Gone. --- Fallen from a gathering place to the edge; the transition was too fast, and it's really a bit uncomfortable.

Data shows that traffic is indeed shifting, although the algorithm adjustment itself is unreasonable. Hang in there, such things are normal in a bear market. You will always see this phenomenon at historical lows. The pattern has been observed: platform operators take too much, miners take too much, and in the end, we get the dust.

this is actually the governance tragedy nobody talks about—algorithm design becomes the consensus layer and it's optimizing for engagement, not signal. composition breaks down when the platform primitives change
