X Introduces ’Starterpacks’ to Onboard New Users into Crypto and Tech Feeds
X is set to launch "Starterpacks," a feature designed to streamline onboarding for new users by curating accounts and feeds based on interests such as cryptocurrency and technology. Nikita Bier, Head of Product at X, announced the rollout, which will debut in the coming weeks. The initiative follows months of global research to identify top content creators across niches and regions.
The crypto-focused Starterpack will emphasize memecoin trading, offering real-time market trends and sentiment analysis from active traders. A preview video demonstrates how users can select interests during onboarding and follow curated account lists. The MOVE comes amid growing discontent among crypto users over declining visibility of crypto content on the platform.
Bier recently sparked backlash by suggesting Crypto Twitter's decline stems from self-sabotage rather than algorithmic changes. His remarks have fueled frustration within the community, with many accusing X of intentionally marginalizing crypto content. The Starterpacks feature appears to be an effort to address these concerns while attracting new users to the platform's crypto ecosystem.
