There's an interesting tension worth examining: when major blockchain advisors hold significant influence over mainstream platform algorithms, how should potential conflicts of interest be managed?
Consider the scenario—if a platform's recommendation system actively de-prioritizes crypto-related content across the board, but then makes exceptions for posts from certain blockchain projects or their ecosystem members, that selective filtering raises questions about algorithmic fairness and transparency.
Take Solana as an example: if posts about major layer-1 networks receive preferential treatment compared to other crypto discussions, does that reflect genuine editorial policy or undisclosed commercial relationships? Users deserve clarity on whether algorithmic decisions are based on neutral principles or influenced by advisory positions held by decision-makers.
This isn't just about one platform or one chain—it's about how crypto ecosystems interact with traditional tech infrastructure, and whether these relationships are being conducted with full transparency.

The algorithm black box is back again, just like the dirty tricks of traditional finance. Claims of neutrality and transparency are all just a facade.

Here we go again... Algorithmic black-box operations have long been an industry unwritten rule, and the Solana example is no exception. Who doesn't know what the underlying relationships are...

The algorithm black box is back again. This time, is it Solana jumping on the bandwagon? To put it simply, it's just a matter of利益输送.

Algorithm black box playing double standards, this is the reason why Web3 is being sidelined...
