Ben is NOT "jamin"

Every day is a good day not to spread hate on the internet

@Quasicodo not in nashville! people really do carry guitars around here though...

@BenjaminMuses happen to be in nashville...? it's a security blanket...

~15 years ago i was at an open mic night and this guy went on stage with a guitar and told Chuck Norris jokes for 5 minutes. didn't touch the guitar. standing ovation

@Quasicodo @CityCoderUS no bathroom on board 👀

@BenjaminMuses @CityCoderUS he's riding catheter pacific...?

It is finally happening! 🛫

@Quasicodo the agents have to share a room with the kitchen??! disgraceful

working on my forever home...

The rumors about pointlessapi.com being one of the most innovative websites of all time are greatly exaggerated (but true)

@elonmusk @doganuraldesign TIME TO SELL THIS WEBSITE

@doganuraldesign Me too

Fuck it, man. I’m so sick of these algorithm changes.

@elonmusk @diana_dukic Monetization has ruined the incentives...

@diana_dukic What needs to be better?

Went from scrolling 24/7 to not even wanting to log in. X just hasn’t been hitting the same lately.

“I️ was committing to go full time on X and even put in notice at my full time job.” Not sure that any one sentence better explains the mistake that is the Monetization Era on here. Posting is now viewed by many as a job to make money. Just pump out shit content for that bi-monthly payout

@BobTells @Quasicodo 100% the solution is obvious but he paid 44 billion dollars for this website lol

@BenjaminMuses @Quasicodo Yeah.. guarantee its the decision maker on this.

the most effective tool in their toolkit is simply turning off monetization...

@DanielW_Kiwi Annoying accounts are constantly tagging him begging for money. I hate to say it but his responses are understandable

This level of feedback from a company is unusually frank. I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. On the one hand it's funny and refreshing on the other it's punching down.

@sbworld Spread the word!

@BenjaminMuses Doesn't look like a secret to me

AI video instead of influencer content. It's like choosing between republicans and democrats

@BobTells @Quasicodo And revenue from everyone paying for twitter blue. Quite the dilemma

@Quasicodo @BenjaminMuses They would lose ad revenue

@Quasicodo 0-10 million

@BenjaminMuses They would lose between 0 - 10 accounts. #justdoit

@BenjaminMuses Good thing you have a phone. I don't

Just ate dinner without taking a photo of it first AMA

@GameDevJared89 Take it up with the wizard!

@BenjaminMuses the results were less than disreable, to b h

Will I be ok? Asking for a friend

@aparanoidbw @craigzLiszt It's a proprietary rating algorithm

@BenjaminMuses @craigzLiszt Wait is 2/10 the quality of the post, ergo being labeled bait? Or the probability of that post being bait? We must document our criteria and requirements. 🤣

the human in-the-loop development cycle will soon become obsolete

@TheBTCTherapist 6.8/10 bait

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write. I’m completely devastated. Last Friday, I️ was notified that my monetization had been paused. I’ve shown up on this app for 5 years straight every single day to grow my account to what it is now. I️ never once paid for ads, never bought followers, never did anything but grow in an organic way. After appealing once, I️ was told my account was removed due to spam and inauthentic content. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I️ spend 6-12 hours on X daily in addition to my full time job; creating content, interacting and posting. I’ve adapted to new algorithms, posting strategies and even started a newsletter. I️’ve stopped using any other online platforms as I️ truly value the freedom and community X has brought me. Every single holiday, family event, vacation, wedding, birthday, you name it, I’ve been active on X during it. I’ve never once taken for granted the audience I’ve grown on this app and have thoroughly enjoyed the relationships I’ve built because of it. During this last period in which I️ was removed, I️ proposed to my girlfriend of 7 years. During this proposal trip, I️ stayed active online the entire time, which is nothing new. I have given up years of time to create something bigger with no regret. But now, after being denied and repeatedly called a spam account, with no way to plead my case, my last resort is to post here. Having to do this publicly feels so pathetic. It’s been almost a week and 2 appeals later, and I️ can’t get in touch with anyone who’s willing to help. I haven’t been given any clarification of where I️ went wrong or if there is a pathway to resolution. How can I️ dedicate myself so profoundly to something for so many years without being given any chance to make a simple change in my form of content? I’ve never had my account flagged or even been told of any misconduct in a 5 year period. The first I️ hear of an issue is ironically on pay day after spending hours upon hours working online during my vacation. I️ don’t expect everyone to be able to understand the severity of this situation because they will never see the time, sacrifices and work put into growing an account from 0 followers to over 260k. I️ can’t begin to explain the things I’ve sacrificed to get to the point of being a creator and I️ can’t help but feel like the platform has failed me. To you, this may just be a lighthearted meme account you follow. To me, this has altered my life. I️ was committing to go full time on X and even put in notice at my full time job. It is every content creators dream to be able to take this on full time, and to have it taken away from you almost as soon as you got it, feels gut wrenching. Over the last 2 years I’ve told everyone how important it is to get a blue checkmark, pay for premium and begin to monetize their account. I️ couldn’t have been louder about how much I️ love this platform and truly felt it was the only platform worth being on. The freedom I️ was given was amazing up until now. I️ truly never thought something like this would happen. All of this to say, I️ am not a spam account and I️ deserve reconciliation. I️f there is a specific thing I’ve done wrong, I️ will adapt my content to no longer do so. But a permanent suspension with a false reasoning will never be okay with me. I️ would hope that you are also not okay with taking away the livelihood of the creators on a platform that prides itself on free speech. @XCreators @premium @x @elonmusk @nikitabier
