Summary
A long-time X user (since 2007) expresses frustration over repeated algorithmic suppression of their account, claiming their reach is throttled despite being a Premium+ user and providing value. They call for more transparency from xAI and X about how the algorithm works and why certain accounts are penalized.

I’ve been here since 2007, 19 years.
I’m about to give up on X.
For the third time in <12 months my account is under immense algorithmic suppression. No reach. no nothing.
I get punished for being a good person on the platform.
In the past my account has been “miss labeled by grok” or “i did not do anything wrong, they did”. Stuff that’s been completely out of my control.
This time feels just the same. Nothing breaks past the great algorithmus.
I’m a premium+ user. I provide value and have posted tens of thousands of useful posts on here. Yet my account is pushed into “limbo” where posts get throttled down. Super low view count, and no clear pathway to get out of it.
For the last 2 weeks, nothing gets close to reaching you, my followers.
I’ve seen this before and I know the pattern far too well. It’s a place where many people basically throws in the towel.
There is something seriously wrong with how the reach suppression works on here.
I post daily, 3-6 times, it’s part of my routine, have been doing so for years.
You build momentum, you provide value, and the cycle repeats, until, something breaks out of your network (OON reach) then the algorithm slams you with the biggest breaks ever, throwing your account into reverse.
If @xai and @nikitabier is listening they should really think hard about why stuff like this happens to users that really want the best for this platform.
At the very least, surface insights inside of creator tools area that shows if and when something has gone wrong or happened to your account that can inform us about wrong doings or simply surfaces issues.
That way people like me that spends an unhealthy amount of time on here can better understand why I’m getting punished.
I’m extra under the weather this time. It just zucks to be fair.
