Recent high-profile cases, such as the October 2024 fraud charges by the SEC involving 18 individuals and entities manipulating cryptocurrency markets, underscore a deeper issue: Web3 engagement has a serious problem that goes beyond just market fraud.
The Hidden Problem: Low-Quality Engagement in Web3
While the Web3 space prides itself on being innovative, it is plagued by a less talked-about issue: low-quality engagement, rampant bot activity, and fake user interactions. Projects often run engagement campaigns hoping to drive real participation and growth, but instead, these campaigns are raided by bots, resulting in fake followers, likes, and interactions.
The Hidden Cost of Fake Engagement
On platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the consequences of bot-driven engagement can be severe. The X algorithm notices when bots raid a campaign, filling it with fake followers and low-quality interactions. Instead of boosting the visibility of the project, the algorithm penalizes accounts that show a high ratio of fake followers or inauthentic engagement. The result? A sharp decrease in organic reach makes it harder for legitimate followers to see posts, interact, and engage meaningfully with the brand. What should have been an opportunity to boost visibility turns into a spiral of diminishing returns.
The Broken Model of Questing Platforms
In addition, the business model of most questing platforms is fundamentally flawed. These platforms often run campaigns where only a handful of thousands of participants actually receive a reward, creating widespread disappointment and even resentment toward the brand running the campaign. The result? Instead of fostering positive engagement, brands often face public backlash and a damaged reputation. Campaigns meant to boost brand reach can backfire, reducing trust and credibility.
The Fragmented Ecosystem
Beyond social media penalties, the Web3 ecosystem is highly fragmented, with many projects struggling to reach and engage their target audiences effectively. This fragmentation scatters efforts across platforms, dilutes the impact of marketing, and often leads to wasted resources and minimal return on investment. This means fewer legitimate opportunities for users to engage with exciting projects, limiting their ability to earn and participate in the ecosystem.
