My Thoughts About Twitter/x Part 3
Up until today, I have not even been on the platform, and when I do finally try to get into my account, I find that I've been suspended. I find this to be highly unfair, and I feel like I'm being personally attacked as an author, a game developer, and as an individual. I see many people promote their work on the platform, yet they don't get penalized. I, on the other hand, have gotten penalized for it. I've also gotten penalized for supporting fellow creatives and other followers which is also unfair. I AM NOT A BOT! How many times must I stress that? Just because I don't have the blue checkmark, doesn't mean that I'm not real. Furthermore, I find it to be highly frustrating that I've been getting penalized needlessly for just being me. They claim that they want to crack down on bot accounts, yet you allow girl bot accounts to be promoted, just because they have their precious blue checkmark. Where's the logic in that? I couldn't even do an ad promotion for my holiday themed book because it was supposedly not eligible. There was absolutely NOTHING offensive whatsoever in the book, it was a wholesome, family-friendly holiday themed book. I couldn't promote it, yet an inappropriate book, a girl bot account, and filthy, disgusting only fans could be promoted. This is completely unfair, seeing as being an author is a huge part of who I am. I'm getting penalized for being me. Furthermore, I as I stated earlier, I have not even been on the platform for several days because I was busy working other things. I find it to be a whole new low when a person is being penalized when they haven't even been on the platform. It's unfortunate that I feel like nothing will be done and I will go on being ignored just because I'm not "big and popular." It's also disappointing that it's gotten to this point. I once thought that twitter/x was a place where I could share my work and just be me, but apparently, I was wrong.
