Shibarium’s Marketing Strategy Triggers Community Outrage, SHIB Falls! What happened?

Updated
September 8, 2025

Jakarta, Pintu News – Shibarium, a network developed by Shiba Inu, recently unleashed a controversial marketing strategy. Shibarium’s official account on the X platform invited Shiba Inu (SHIB) holders to flood the comments section about the crypto with mentions of this currency.

Furthermore, they are even encouraging the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to automate the creation of comments. This move is considered a desperate measure to increase the visibility of this once popular cryptocurrency.

Negative Reaction from the Community

This marketing policy, announced through Shibarium’s X account, received a lot of criticism from the community. One user responded harshly, “SHIB is dead, and you guys are dead too.”

These comments reflect the deep disappointment felt by many loyal followers. In addition, many community members are frustrated by the lack of significant ecosystem development. They expect more innovations and updates that can bring added value to SHIB holders, not just spam-focused marketing strategies.

SHIB Downgrade

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has seen a drastic drop in the market capitalization rankings. Data from CoinGecko shows that SHIB is no longer among the top 30 largest cryptocurrencies. In 2021, SHIB had made it into the top 10 and even outperformed Dogecoin (DOGE) by market capitalization.

Investors who bought SHIB at the price peak in 2021 are now 86% worse off, even though the market has seen significant growth since then. Today, the cryptocurrency that was once Dogecoin’s second-largest competitor is even smaller than Litecoin (LTC) and Toncoin (TON).

Criticism of the Use of AI

The strategy of using artificial intelligence to generate spam in comments has also come under negative scrutiny. The use of AI in this way was deemed unethical and potentially damaging to Shibarium’s reputation as a blockchain project. It shows desperation in trying to maintain relevance in a highly competitive market.

This criticism adds to the long list of challenges faced by Shibarium and SHIB. Without significant strategic changes, the future of these networks looks bleak. Developers need to listen to community feedback and adopt a more sustainable and ethical approach to marketing.

Conclusion

This whole situation shows the importance of ethical and sustainable marketing strategies in the crypto world. Shibarium needs to take immediate concrete steps to repair its image and restore the community’s trust. Without that, the future of SHIB may continue to dim over time.
