9 hours Crypto Gets Shock Video Dose as Users Stream ‘NSFW’ Content to Pump Their MemecoinsCoinDesk

Early 2000s-style internet shock videos are making the rounds on a popular crypto platform, with such content including extreme acts like individuals engaging in self-harm, animal cruelty, and explicit sexual content to attract attention and potentially increase token value.

Despite the platform’s moderation efforts, some of this content surfaces in the public view.

The crypto community, particularly on X, has largely criticized the use of shock content to promote tokens. Most tokens associated with such dark themes struggle to achieve significant market capitalization, indicating poor reception by investors.
