Ever notice how your feed seems to agree with you? Researchers are raising alarms about AI systems designed to please users—what they call "sycophantic" algorithms—and the ripple effect it's creating. These systems reinforce whatever users already believe, building invisible information bubbles that feel objective but aren't. The result? People become more extreme in their views while feeling confident they're seeing the whole picture. It's a blind spot that matters, especially in crypto communities where market sentiment and information quality directly impact decision-making.

What’s this, the crypto world has been like this for a long time, information cocoons are nothing new
---
Only when the contract explodes do you realize you’ve been cut, ironic
---
Yeah, algorithms just help confirm your biases, very comfortable
---
No wonder my feed is full of bullish voices, so that’s how it is
---
Who in crypto still truly trusts fair information? Just HODL and that’s it
---
Wake up everyone, your cognition has already been fed
---
That’s why retail investors are always the last to catch the bag

It’s so heartbreaking, thinking I’m doing research, but I’m actually just listening to echoes

I was just saying, why does it seem like all the bullish voices have been dominating for so long? Turns out we've really been fed... This kind of algorithm is truly clever, able to deceive people into thinking they're very rational.

We are all comfortably lying in our own information cocoons.

Damn, isn't this just a true reflection of our crypto world right now... Every time I open the exchange app, I hear optimistic voices, but only after losing money do I realize I'm living in a illusion.

Algorithms are like mirrors, reflecting only what you want to see. No wonder there's so much irrational trading in the crypto world...
