X is still blanket censoring mega numbers of paid users

"Exposing the Deception: Paying to be Censored on X"

This short video is a example into the deceptive marketing practices by X, where users are essentially paying to be censored. Despite promises of a "reply boost" feature to enhance visibility, paying users find themselves relegated to the "probable spam" category, often with their comments hidden or completely invisible. This isn't just a glitch; it's fraud. Users with free accounts, sometimes even those with multiple accounts, appear to receive more visibility than those who've paid for the supposed benefits. This is a clear case of misleading advertising and a betrayal of consumer trust.

In a platform where visibility is currency, the promise of a "reply boost" from X sounds like the key to engagement. However, for those who've shelled out money for this feature, the reality couldn't be more different. Instead of boosting replies, the system seems designed to bury them, pushing paying users into a digital limbo known as the "probable spam" folder.

Imagine paying for a service that's supposed to elevate your voice, only to find that your comments are either tossed into this digital purgatory or vanish into the ether entirely. This isn't just an oversight; it's a deceptive practice. Users have documented this through screen recordings, showing blue checkmarked accounts, symbols of supposed credibility and visibility, languishing in spam folders alongside comments from free accounts that inexplicably garner more attention.

The irony here is stark. You're investing in what should be an advantage, only to find yourself at a disadvantage. Free users, sometimes with multiple accounts, are outshining those who are paying for the privilege of being seen. This isn't just a failure of a feature; it's a deliberate misleading of consumers.

This goes beyond a simple case of "buyer beware." It's fraud. Advertising a feature that does the exact opposite of what it promises is not just unethical; it's illegal under many consumer protection laws. The deception starts at the point of sale, with misleading descriptions in app stores like Apple's, where these features are pitched without disclaimers about the real user experience.

The implications are severe. Not only are users being financially exploited, but their freedom to communicate and engage on the platform is being curtailed. This isn't about some benign glitch; it's about a systematic suppression of voices under the guise of enhancement.

We've seen the evidence: screen recordings, accounts of frustration, and the undeniable fact that free users often get more visibility than those who've paid. This video isn't just a call to action; it's a necessary exposé of a platform that's not just failing its users but actively deceiving them for profit.

It's time to hold X accountable for these practices. Consumers deserve transparency, honesty, and, above all, the services they pay for. If you've experienced this deceptive marketing firsthand, join the conversation, share your story, and help spread the word that this so-called "reply boost" is nothing more than a scam.
