Shadowbanning, blocking, and nsfw tweets are the name of the steem game on twitter now.
Hi @fitinfun, what do you mean by this? Do we have Steemians producing nsfw content on Twitter?!
Personally, I feel that Twitter is the home of spam. It's built for short form content and so actually bothering to take a video and upload it each day is more work and more content than 3/4 words, which is probably not far off the average tweet length!
No they are not (intentionally) posting nsfw @abh12345.
What they are doing is no-link pushup videos while not covering up enough skin and getting too close to the camera and so therefore the twitter bots do not know what is happening and mark it nsfw. It's not a person marking the videos nsfw, it's a bot. Twitter has a "percentage of skin" metric that fitness trainers I know have also gotten dinged by. Is that a shoulder or a boob?
Then the steeming pushup person does not care, or might not know, and keeps doing this same mistake over and over again. Maybe 77 times lol. After a few times, twitter shadowbans them. What they should be doing is protesting and changing the way they dress and shoot. But those I try to tell this to, won't for a variety of reasons. Free speech, baby! Never mind their speech is now hidden.
50% of twitter people block, mute, or otherwise avoid video, so I'm not on board with the videos either. They are not hard to upload, but the fact that they have no links is a problem, as well as so many steemers doing them having the very same connections, so twitter sees the same people circle-jerking each other and takes whatever steps they take.
I have a good account I have worked hard on over there for about 5 years. When I do engage with the pushup videos, my analytics visibly tank. So I have them blocked on 2 of my accounts and only see whats up on the third least important one.

lol, well i didn't know that - clearly I've not got enough boob for the bots.

Right, well this is good feedback. Thanks for the information.
