I very recently wrote a stack about shadow-banning, and that nobody seems to talk about it anymore, and that I haven't seen a note or stack about it for months. Since then, I saw at least three. So it seems those algorithms feeding you your interests work.

I had similar experiences. Sasha Latipova restacked two or three of my articles, and I thought that would be noticed. She has, I don't know, 60.000 followers. Nothing. Nada. Two likes. Crazy. I am actually in the process of adding the metrics of hundreds of my articles into a spreadsheet to figure out some patterns. Let's keep in touch.

The pattern is mostly if you talk about the best evidence like the Scottish inquiry you will be shadow banned. Biology phenom was banned from Twitter. He's blocked by several "freedom" heroes on substack. Recently he also published about the latest account banned from x, another person who was posting everything evidence from the Scottish inquiry. It's pretty clear, there are levels of censorship. If you play along you can make money and be celebrated. If you post important information, forget about it. Bad news for you , I don't think Sasha is going to fix anything either... She's doing great -- $$$$ -- on substack. Are you kidding me? She also snubbed BP. Not a good sign. .... https://open.substack.com/pub/biologyphenom/p/newsuspended-from-x-20?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=paf6o

I don't know PB. In this context, I only mentioned Sasha because 60.000 of her followers are supposed to see her restack on my article, and all that happened was two or three likes. Meanwhile, every teenager sharing what they have for lunch gets 500. :-)

BP is Biology phenom... Linked article above! :). Yes I don't think it really changes much if you are hidden, when someone popular shares your work. I've noticed that too. There are exceptions.

Many of us have experienced the Substack 'hiccups' (I'm being generous there), and are fed up. I've started moving myself away from Notes, with the goal to be working entirely from The Stone Age and email, using Notes only to promote others works... and occasionally my own 😉

Great work here...
