Hey friends,

In the past 3 months, I have managed to grow a Twitter account to around 4000 followers.

I've done this by consistently putting in 2-4 hours every single day including weekends, and I was seeing great results with very high engagement. My account was poised to overtake the big names in the space.

However, throughout these months, I was plagued by bot follower attacks - my account would get followed by 20k+ bot followers each time these attacks occur. I came to learn that this is a malicious attack where your account get mass reported for spam / manipulation by the attacker.

Using custom and off the shelf tools, I worked on removing and preventing these attacks until it happened again recently.

Finally, the attackers got what they wanted and my account was permanently suspended. I appealed but it was quickly rejected with zero explanation.

Does anyone by any chance have any contacts at Twitter or could assist in the matter?


My advice is don't throw more good time after bad. Twitter is not worth investing time in. It's going down mid-term.


Even if I wanted to, I don't think I have any energy left in me. Why do you think it's going down ?


Hi all,

I thought I would share with you this great podcast that I've stumbled upon:- https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brandable-insider-doma...

Listen to the "my top sales" episodes to learn about Keith's mindset on picking and selling domains. He's straight to the point and very informative. Really worth listening to!
