Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this whole “shadow ban” thing, specifically focusing on what some people are calling “part 2” or the “gray zone.” Let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rabbit hole, but I think I’ve got some useful insights to share.
My Experiment Begins
First off, I needed to figure out what actually triggered this supposed “gray zone” state. I started by, well, basically pushing the boundaries a little. I mean, I posted some stuff, like a bunch of times, same kind of content, nothing crazy, but the sort of thing that might get flagged if you weren’t careful. It wasn’t like, illegal or anything, just…pushing it.
I started by creating a few fresh accounts, just to keep things clean, you know? Didn’t want my main account getting caught in the crossfire. Think of it as like a controlled experiment.
The Nitty-Gritty
- Step 1: Set up those new accounts.
- Step 2: Started posting a few times.
- Step 3: Posted more, much more.
- Step 4:Then I started to notice it…
I made a big posting, I mean, a bunch of things ,all at once. And, boom, suddenly my engagement went way, way down. Like, crickets.
The Results?
It wasn’t a complete block, my stuff was still up. But it felt like my posts were just…hidden. I was there, but not really there.
So, yeah, that’s my “shadow over ban part 2 gray zone” story. It’s like, the system sees you, knows you, but just decides to turn down the volume on your stuff.
