I recently paid $20 to boost a post on X. When the promotion ended, it had reached just 162 people — with zero engagement. No likes, no comments, no shares, and no proof that anyone actually saw it.
This is not an isolated incident. It’s the story of my life.
I’ve spent a considerable amount of money promoting content on X, and the results have consistently been abysmal.
My organic posts are barely shown, and I can’t even pay for reach.
I’ve tagged @elonmusk, @X, and @AdsSupport on countless posts about this, and I’ve also emailed X Ads Support directly.
To all the big conservative accounts and “influencers” with hundreds of thousands or millions of followers who complain about being censored on X: You have no idea what real suppression, shadowbanning, and censorship look like.
I’ve lived it every single day, on every platform, with every post, for the past 20 years.
I’m not even allowed to pay to boost my reach on X or Truth Social.
My own side refuses to let me build an audience and be heard. And I am a paying member of both.
Oh, but it gets better. Or should I say worse.
I asked X why they didn’t let me boost my post. They responded below.
Then I told them I wanted a refund. And they said they are unable to do that. X has the worst customer service.
X won’t give me organic reach or let me pay for it.

I know why the Rachel Maddow clip I posted violates their policies. It wasn’t what Maddow said. It is what I said.
Early on — about a year after Twitter came online — I learned I couldn’t post about crimes by illegal aliens without getting suspended and banned. After I got banned, I’d create a new account with a different email. I’d try to stay quiet on the topic, but then I’d see another victim story in the new media or local news and speak up again — only to get banned.
Posting about illegal alien crime has been a constant battle because it gets flagged by X’s old content filters and reach algorithms — their rules treat content involving crimes by people here illegally as derogatory or against protected categories like “status as an immigrant.”
Posts highlighting American victims of illegal alien crime are getting blocked from promotion and throttled on reach.
