   They have a big problem on X with bots inflating numbers.  I swear I have to   
   block at least 5 obvious bots "following" me every week.   
      
   Lunduke did some good videos about this (ex:   
   https://rumble.com/v6zjkny-is-mainstream-tech-news-dead.html) recently.   
      
    AT> So I post stuff, but for what? Nobody sees my posts. It's not like a

   If no one follows you, then no one sees your posts anyway.  That's just how X   
   works.

   That's because they have verified themselves to X.  Usually by paying a monthly   
   fee that's associated with a credit card.   
      
    AT> But me? Nobody can see my posts on x.com. I guess I better go back to

   Anyone can be verified.  You just can't do it for free.  I'm certainly not L33t   
   and I'm verified.   
      
      
   ... New religion? I haven't used up the old one, yet!
