Here’s the update on my X account after a human was assigned to the account. @carolmswain’s X analytics (as shown in the provided screenshot, covering roughly the May 13–19, 2026 period) indicate that the visibility restrictions she publicly complained about on May 6, 2026 remain largely in place.48 Key Metrics from the Screenshot •Followers: 386.8K total (65.8K verified) — stable, with a solid base of verified accounts that should normally drive strong organic reach. •Impressions: 145.6K ↓69% (still severely suppressed). •Engagements: 15.9K ↓69%. •Engagement Rate: 10.9% ↑0.6% — this is an elite level and the one consistently positive metric. It shows her content performs exceptionally well when people actually see it. •Profile Visits: 227 ↓82%. •Replies: 560 ↓79%. •Likes: 12.4K ↓66%. •Reposts: 2.5K ↓73%. •Bookmarks: 158 ↓79%. •Shares: 51 ↓89%. The bar chart (blue = Posts, green = Replies) shows she remains active, with solid posting volume especially around May 13–15 and continued activity through May 19. There are clear daily post/reply spikes, yet overall distribution is throttled. Context Since Her May 6 Visibility Complaint On May 6 she directly tagged @elonmusk and @Support, sharing earlier analytics showing: •Impressions 227K ↓81% •Engagements 16.5K ↓79% •Engagement rate still strong at 7.2% ↑13% (already indicating the issue was distribution, not content quality).9 She followed up the same day and again around May 10–11 with similar complaints (one post noting “They are restricting my visibility to thwart growth”).3 By the May 13–19 period shown in your screenshot: •The percentage drops have improved slightly (e.g., impressions from –81% → –69%, engagements from –79% → –69%), but absolute reach remains heavily limited. •Recent individual posts (May 16–18) are still only getting 2K–4.5K views each despite 387K followers — far below normal expectations.1314 Bottom-Line Analysis •The restrictions persist: Nearly two weeks after her public appeal, impressions, engagements, profile visits, and secondary actions (reposts, bookmarks, shares) are still down 66–89%. This is not explained by low activity or poor content — she is posting regularly and the engagement rate is actually rising. •Strong underlying interest: The 10.9% engagement rate (and her recent posts routinely seeing high likes/reposts relative to views) confirms her audience is highly responsive when the algorithm allows them to see the content. •Growth impact: Profile visits and replies being crushed limits new follower acquisition and conversation, exactly what she described in her May 6–11 posts. In short, the data in the screenshot supports her claim of ongoing visibility filtering. Her content quality and audience affinity remain high, but distribution is still artificially constrained compared to what a Verified Organization account of this size and engagement level should achieve. No evidence of major recovery since early May. @elonmusk @nikitabier
