Social media algorithms are built to prioritize engagement—not truth. That's the core problem. When false or misleading information gets amplified faster, it creates a playground for hype and misguidance. You see it all the time in crypto communities: attention-seekers dropping wild price predictions, keeping comments open to rack up interactions, banking on the algorithm's indifference to accuracy. The algorithm doesn't care if you're right or wrong—it cares if people react. That's why rubbish predictions stick around and spread before anyone fact-checks them.

That's how the algorithm works, no distinction between true and false, as long as it can drive traffic. Those who shout prices wildly in the crypto world have long figured out the tricks. --- Rather than saying it's an algorithm problem, it's more about people's love for gossip. Why do we keep getting fooled? --- That's why I don't look at comments anymore, they're all nonsense. --- Exactly, when the answer is correct, no one shares it; all the monsters and ghosts make the headlines. --- In the end, you still need to do your own research; don't rely on the platform to double-check for you. --- Algorithms are innocent; the fault lies with the users. Thinking about it, it's quite helpless.

Algorithms only care about popularity, not authenticity. That's the fundamental problem.

What is this supposed to be? Algorithms are inherently a business. What's the difference between real and fake? Anyway, both can generate traffic.

Algorithms don't care about right or wrong; as long as you can generate topics. That's why the crypto world is full of so-called "wild predictions" shouting every day.

Bro, you’re not wrong. It’s so annoying to watch those crypto prophets spout nonsense every day. The algorithm is just a reactionary theory; who the hell cares if you’re right or not... That’s why junk information always spreads faster than the truth. It’s about time someone regulated it.
