I'm firmly convinced that my blog,
The Last Tradition, is a victim of shadow banning.  I used to get three to four followers a week.  And it stopped cold in the months before the election and it hasn't picked up since.
Project Veritas  reports Steven Pierre, Twitter engineer explains “shadow banning,” says “it’s going to ban a way of talking”
Former Twitter software engineer Abhinav Vadrevu on shadow banning: “they just think that no one is engaging with their content, when in reality, no one is seeing it”
