I never bitched about the X creator revenue pool because at least I couldn’t be banned, and it was never about the money. I could make way more doing almost anything else. Now I can be locked out and banned on a whim? Then I may as well complain. X is being overrun with slop. There are 30 or so people in politics and media who keep X interesting. They bring original material and reporting to X. They totally get screwed from the revenue share. It makes more sense, business wise, to hire a server farm in Macedonia or the Philippines to harvest video clips from cable news than to do anything original. So the deal is I can't promote businesses I invested in without wondering if I'll get suspended? Total nonsense.
Thought you’d gone on holiday or something. This better get cleared up quick or something is seriously rotten in the state of X. TL feels empty without you. Hope it all gets sorted. God bless.
Surrounded on all fronts. Guess they didn’t like your FARA comments. Weasels. You have a big following & we will kick up a fuss, but still - troubling precedent.
I am on X because of Cern. Cuts through lots of noise and saves me time, plus occasionally makes me think. Subscribed here just in case you start posting more here.
You are a great writer and have great insight. Twitter is brain rot for the literate. I think publishing on there is a waste of time and skill. It’s like if Christoper Nolan would start making TikTok videos. I’m looking forward to reading you more here.
Mike, really hope they’ll get you reinstated asap. Your takes, input, wisdom need to be available on as many platforms as possible so that we can have a positive shift in this country. Also hoping you’re influential circle are advocating for you.
Sasha Stone also recently got banned from X. She writes about it here on Substack. Yuri Bezmenov has an interesting post regarding how money is now flowing from the left to support propaganda here on Substack which you may find interesting.
I became a paid subscriber exclusively to comment on this post. I got hacked and now I'm permanently suspended from X. I saw AJAC made a post for you and I'm literally begging you if you somehow get on, if you could please raise your voice for smaller accounts such as mine. I was phished, my account got compromised, and then suspended (permanently. I cannot make a new account) for "inauthentic accounts". My appeals are not making it through the AI. I have zero recourse but I pray to God that you can help, if you are able to get back on
I will second that! Very similar to what happened to me. In the Trump term 1 days I had over 5,000 followers. And now I’m banned for the same thing. Bollocks
You’re doing important work Mike. Ive been a quiet enjoyer of your perspectives for sometime (~10yrs). I synthesize your thoughts and convey them to my various circles. Your reach travels. Keep creating positive culture for the guys.
I got banned from X a few months ago. My hunch is I was a victim of mass reporting by Nazis. They are very organised and I was calling them out everywhere I found them. I appealed but there is literally no one to talk to. The straw that broke the camels back was when they kept charging me for my blue check (which I purchased out of gratitude to Elon) and gave me no way to cancel it. I blocked X from the credit card in order to stop paying and then they limited the number of posts I could see every day. Needless to say, I’m done. I can’t say I really miss it. I’ll be paying more attention to substack especially now there is no CWSA 😢. What happened to Elon??
How do I contact you to have a conversation about this suspension for the review that I am doing. I would post the link here, but I don't want to be spammy

Probably a lobbyist paid someone inside X to ban me.

I thought maybe you gave it up for Sunday’s during Lent. Hopefully you’ll be back soon. Missing your commentary!
I had planned on that and then the Iran war happened. But I am using the suspension to some spiritual lesson.

For politics, X is where to be. For money or literally any other reason, it’s not.
After reading this for free - I decided to send you dinner $ and sub. Was also thinking you were on vacation.

Someone inside X obviously did this to me. There are sabotage teams inside. That’s my bigger concern.
Sabotage teams are completely believable. It would be an extremely cost-effective thing for the bad guys to do. Grrr.

Substack is very left leaning now.

Thanks for the update. I too noticed you were missing. Let's hope Elon gets on this. Sounds like exactly the kind of thing he would look into.

Any reading recommendations? What’s got your attention these days?

The official reason was I was accused of being a bot. 🤖
