So on Twitter, a common growth hack for gaining recognition and followers it to post periodically about getting shadow banned, then complain about the platform. I have seen multiple accounts go through the roof in following and engagement as a result of such practices.
These individuals did not even login to sketchy websites and give them permission to access their twitter accounts in order to take screenshots of their supposed shadow banning, suggesting they may not have been shadow banned in the first place.
I do not have reason to believe that @k00b has shadow banned me, but I figured I would try this growth hack out on this website to see if I can milk you all for engagement. There is a risk of being discovered by @Car and @k00b though and actually getting shadow banned.
The benefits appear to outweigh the risks.
