潛在的影子禁令打擊加密貨幣影響者

加密貨幣影響者越來越多地對 X（該平台以前稱為 Twitter）涉嫌影子禁令表示擔憂。

Crypto influencers on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, are increasingly voicing concerns over suspected shadow bans. Prominent figures like PlanB, Raoul Pal, Crypto Rand, and Randi Hipper have noticed a significant stagnation in their follower counts, prompting speculation about the platform's algorithm.

X（該平台以前稱為 Twitter）上的加密貨幣影響者越來越多地表達了對可疑影子禁令的擔憂。 PlanB、Raoul Pal、Crypto Rand 和 Randi Hipper 等知名人物注意到他們的追蹤者數量大幅停滯，引發了對該平台演算法的猜測。

A shadow ban is a practice where a user's content or account is partially or entirely blocked from an online community without their knowledge. This means that while users can still post and interact with the platform, their content becomes invisible or less visible to other users.

影子禁令是一種在用戶不知情的情況下部分或全部阻止用戶內容或帳戶進入線上社群的做法。這意味著，雖然用戶仍然可以發佈內容並與平台互動，但他們的內容對其他用戶來說變得不可見或不太可見。

Social media platforms often use shadow banning to moderate content and reduce the visibility of spam, inappropriate, or rule-breaking content without directly notifying the user. This can prevent backlash or attempts to circumvent the ban. However, it can also lead to confusion and frustration among users who believe they are unfairly targeted.

社群媒體平台通常使用影子禁令來調節內容並減少垃圾郵件、不當或違反規則的內容的可見性，而無需直接通知使用者。這可以防止強烈反對或試圖規避禁令。然而，這也可能導致用戶感到困惑和沮喪，因為他們認為自己受到了不公平的攻擊。

That is the case for PlanB. The analyst, known for his stock-to-flow Bitcoin model, recently wrote about the issue.

PlanB 就是這種情況。這位以其股票流量比特幣模型而聞名的分析師最近就這個問題發表了文章。

“X/Twitter throttles my account. Week after week, every day I gain roughly 2,000 followers, towards 1.977 million followers … then overnight BOOM -2,000, back below 1.975 million,” PlanB said.

「X/Twitter 限制了我的帳戶。一周又一周，我每天都會增加大約 2,000 名粉絲，朝著 197.7 萬粉絲……然後一夜之間激增 -2,000 名粉絲，回到 197.5 萬以下，」PlanB 說道。

Raoul Pal, a former hedge fund manager and the founder of Real Vision, shared a similar experience. He explained that his account has had 1.045 million for several months now, and it “never moves.” This stagnation appears to affect crypto influencers across the board, regardless of their content's quality or engagement level.

前對沖基金經理人、Real Vision 創辦人 Raoul Pal 也有類似的經驗。他解釋說，幾個月來他的帳戶上已經有 104.5 萬，而且「從未動過」。這種停滯似乎全面影響了加密貨幣影響者，無論他們的內容品質或參與程度如何。

Crypto Rand echoed these sentiments, stating that his account has been stuck with 300,000 followers for one and a half years. This prolonged plateau in follower growth is puzzling, particularly for accounts that once saw rapid increases in followers.

Crypto Rand 也回應了這些觀點，表示他的帳號已經有 30 萬粉絲了一年半了。追隨者成長的長期停滯狀態令人費解，特別是對於曾經追蹤者快速成長的帳戶而言。

Randi Hipper, another influential voice in the crypto space, also expressed her frustration.

加密貨幣領域另一位有影響力的聲音蘭迪·希佩爾（Randi Hipper）也表達了她的沮喪。

“The followers never move. I used to gain thousands every week, growing like a weed! It's almost impossible to build here, especially for a crypto account,” Hipper said.

「追隨者永遠不會移動。我以前每週都會賺幾千，像野草一樣生長！在這裡幾乎不可能建立，特別是對於加密貨幣帳戶來說，」希佩爾說。

Contrasting these views, Bitcoin Archive offered a different perspective. He suggested that the stagnation might be due to a broader market trend.

對比這些觀點，比特幣檔案提供了不同的視角。他表示，停滯可能是由於更廣泛的市場趨勢造成的。

“Follower stabilization is mostly because there isn't much growth at the moment, and our accounts are already quite large. This shows up across YouTube and Twitter over a dozen or so large accounts. Retail interest is low. Most who are interested in bitcoin/crypto are likely already following,” Bitcoin Archive stated.

「粉絲穩定主要是因為目前成長不多，而且我們的帳戶已經相當大了。這顯示在 YouTube 和 Twitter 上十幾個左右的大型帳戶上。零售利息較低。大多數對比特幣/加密貨幣感興趣的人可能已經在關注了，」比特幣檔案館表示。

These influencers bring significant value and engagement to the crypto community, but the apparent follower stagnation raises questions about X's current policies and algorithms. Whether shadow banning or the current crypto market sentiment, the concerns of these crypto influencers highlight the challenges of growing and maintaining an online presence.

這些影響者為加密社群帶來了巨大的價值和參與度，但明顯的追隨者停滯不前引發了人們對 X 當前政策和演算法的質疑。無論是影子禁令還是當前的加密貨幣市場情緒，這些加密貨幣影響者的擔憂凸顯了發展和維持線上存在的挑戰。
