I assume you are aware that you are the subject of a flattering meme on rw twitter in the last couple months, based on the observation that you always seem to turn up in the replies of notable left wing tweeters who inadvisably address crime stats. That may have raised your profile somewhat.
Pretty sure he is right - but then that is usually a safe guess.Replies: @James B. Shearer
It’s almost tempting to return to that benighted forum, whose premises I vacated back in early 2018. But really, who among us needs another online time sink?
Then again, many businesses and government institutions still insist on using Twitter and Facebook to communicate with the public, and refuse any other method of contact.
At least in the case of government agencies, I feel this shouldn’t be permitted. At least there should be an alternative.
I have some experience with government acquisition practice. That this isn't regarded as one of those forbidden "friends and family" arrangements is mind boggling. There must be some gaps in the law.
I have not and will not, participate in that. I’ve always found phone numbers after digging hard or at least a “chat”(with a business recently), but then I try to avoid contact with government agencies completely.
As for iSteve, that’s a hell of an illustration of what had been going on before – censorship of various forms.
I’d rather read normal writing, alas, and as you wrote, HammerJack, it’d be yet another online time sink. The Unz Review and my own blog is quite enough for me.
At least say hi to Anna on the Twitter website.
Pretty sure Steve thinks the algorithm has been changed so it is no longer against him.
Pretty sure he is right – but then that is usually a safe guess.
Be more convincing with some comparisons. Could be lots of people left and right now have more followers.
I’ve been in multiple 4chan threads where Steve, The Most Important Graph in the World, Noticing, or Death Race 2020 comes up (from somebody else). There’s no competition from the “real” media: for CNN and NPR, these people don’t exist and these events aren’t happening.
You graphs will be on the ADL’s charge sheet against the Nazi Musk.
I usually scoff at Twitter ppl that say they are being shadow banned or shadow blasted. Steve makes the best case but it’s probably what you said. Maybe Musk will tell us.
It's a reprehensible tactic. (Unz's reader-controlled commenters to ignore is much more honest.). Unfortunately, I'm not Musk will not continue its use in the future, even some accounts are getting unbanned now.Replies: @Intelligent Dasein
Impressive. Congrats Steve.
I deleted my Twitter account after the 2020 election.
I was on there with my actual name and then it slowly dawned on me that we no longer have freedom of speech or the right to question what the media or government tells us to think. Also: not sure who is watching. I work for a large overly woke corporation.
I think your approach to communicating your ideas is spot on: the people we are dealing with are easily threatened and not used to being challenged, so being non-threatening, and not overly challenging or frightening is the best way to go. Slowly, but surely the country will come back.
Appreciate what you do!

Interesting to see the first chart’s graphic evidence of the Left’s revanchist Twitter crackdown following the 2020 election, even though they “won”.
Apparently, when your “win” was actually a steal, you rest uneasily until all opposition is purged.
Prior to Musk, Twitter as a private company had every liberty to decide who violated the terms of agreement and thus remove users. There are other platforms that one is able to go to if banned. That’s the free market in action.
And, yes, Biden won. No quotes needed. Even Stephen Miller said so. And our intrepid host has also made it cagily known that the type of fraud you and others claim didn’t happen. The results from the Arizona investigation show there was no steal.
Still waiting for you, ma’am, to answer why Sydney Powell has yet to provide her conclusive proof that the U.S. Army seized servers in Germany that show how Trump voters were switched to Biden.

Good point. Steve should statistically analyze Twitter impressions and followers compared to different types of commenters here.
Looks like the first graph correlates with projected temperature increases
It could be the Musk liberation.
It could be that ideas take time to percolate into a culture. Nietzsche paid to publish his books and sold a few hundred copies of entire first printing. Now he probably sells a few hundred copies an hour.
There is certainly a time correlation with Musk. Sometimes the correlation seems to make so much sense it must be causation. Doctors used to see a huge correlation between coffee drinking and heart disease – turns out heavy coffee drinkers used to be smokers also.
Can you or are you monetizing that Twitter trend somehow?
Getting some to come here, for example.
Not sure how monetizing works there, if at all.
Or do your secret right-wing evil funders in Switzerland (or Australia) pay you by the head?
(The IRS has lately been really pressing me to get you to cough up more info on this. They are threatening to shoot my dachshund now…)
sticking with my estimation that Elon has a reasonable chance of becoming the most important person who ever lived. although i’ll move that down to 50%. he understands the stakes, seems to have thought about this at length, and has positioned himself appropriately.
in the coming Democrat monopoly, his enemies are legion.
however, the US Military wants SpaceX and Starlink. in particular, they want Starship.
this is the power struggle. the rest of Washington DC wants to destroy Musk, but the Defense Department will block all that.
I have seen an ocean of good remarks on Twitter with only one or two replies. I always check the number of reactions. It’s quite plain that for a long time anything that went against the narrative was being shadowbanned.
Steve’s top graph is a 1st derivative of followers graph. It does look like the famous Michael Mann hockey stick, except this one is real observational data, not a bullshit projection.

As my friend Tom Luongo (@tfl1728) says repeatedly, when free and unabated, twitter is the best way to bring in intellectually curious, smart people who desire to know how the world really works. it is better than BoomerBook or GooTube or anything else. Musk is really doing the Lord’s work – I can’t believe it.
Steve is on the Mount Rushmore of those people who deliver reality to a thirsty populace. Goodness knows how many of friends and family I have shared links with over the last 15+ years. I assume by gaining followers and impressions, he has seen his traffic to this site rise as well. No one deserves it more, and it makes the $200-$500 I launder through VDare to get to him and his dog every year among the best legal uses of my disposable income possible.
My final piece of advice for Steve: get plenty of sun, steak and steel! (h/t: @mangan150)
Musk Magic!
This is pretty strong evidence that the algorithms were being manipulated against people like Steve.
I suppose it could also be that Steve has been getting shout outs on Twitter from people like Anna Khachiyan, plus going on Alex Kaschuta’s podcast, so a lot of closer-to-mainstream people—and I’d imagine younger people, in particular—are hearing about him for the first time as a result.
I’ve been reading Steve regularly since 2013, shortly before the migration to Unz, and I have been consistently puzzled that he’s not more widely known, including among people who largely share his worldview. He was the subject of that NY Mag piece not longer after the 2016 election, but that didn’t seem to permanently boost his profile. Looks like he might finally be reaching a broader audience.
Unz essays seem to have increased the practice of pasting Twitter excerpts into the essays. I have been assuming that if a Twitter Tweet is notably important or clever, Unz essayists will find it and post it. I hope this assumption that Unz will do it for me is basically sound. The only exception to the above is if I have a temporary interest in, an insane, compulsive crush on, a particular non-notable, and I want to learn more about her; an appealing weather girl, something like that.

As Giuliani said, once the envelope was ripped open and the name checked against the voter roles, it was tossed in the trash can and the only traceable link between the ballot and a real, qualified voter was severed. No viable recount was possible--and that, of course, by design. No nation in the world has such lax standards. The USA is irredeemably corrupt, or rather, it has been corrupted beyond redemption.
If you put yourself beyond the law, then the Law cannot protect you when things go south. You can't have it both ways.Replies: @Corvinus
(1) They constantly banned people who demonstrably did NOT violate their terms of service. They were banned for political reasons.
(2) They constantly did NOT ban ideological allies who OPENLY violated the terms of service. You could threaten violence to Donald Trump or white people, and nothing happened to you. Do it to, say, Nancy Pelosi or blacks, and you were gone.
Twitter IS obligated to enforce their terms of service equally. They did nothing of the kind.Lol! Yeah, we know. The "build your own Twitter" response. Hey, now that Musk is doing exactly that, why are all a youse losing your minds over it?

The prevalence of absentee ballots, mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting guarantee that a free, fair election was not possible, irrespective of what you and other idiots say.

It’s a removal of the heavy hand of Twitter that used to deliberately depress dissidence.
“The results from the Arizona investigation show there was no steal.”
What you mean to say in your patented imbecilic way is that they applied an auditing process whose function is to increase confidence by some degree. You know, like the SEC auditors and Bernie Madoff for all those years BEFORE they actually caught him.
It is with some satisfaction I can report that yesterday I was permanently suspended from Twitter for quoting a hatefact from Wikipedia. I note there are left wing accounts hyperventilating about superhitler Musk purging left wing accounts without explanation.

For years I had a Twitter account with my real name. I had around 5000 followers. Then I became worried that my real name was attached to unwoke, controversial opinions so I deleted my account. I stayed off Twitter during the last few years as they increased their censorship. Now that Musk bought it I opened a new account with a fake name. This time I am just going to read instead of posting or trying to gain a following. So far I followed around 100 accounts and Steve is one of them.
My biggest surprise on Twitter is to see Lion of the Blogosphere is very active on there. I used to enjoy his blog and thought he fell off the face of the earth. Glad to see him on there.
I didn’t have a ton of followers (100? 200?) but one of them was a friend and colleague from work and, even though my opinions aren’t too “far right” (whatever that means)…I had (and have) a lot of questions about the legality and legitimacy of the 2020 election.
They are questions, the way people have questions about the Kennedy assasination or our decision to attack Iraq. It is ok to question an election. That doesn’t make you an insurrectionist or whatever the epithet of the week is.
The outcome may be totally legit. (I have my doubts that an Alzheimer’s patient who sat in his basement and had “rallies” with 20 people garnered millions more votes than Obama).
It was clear that the Left went bananas about Trump and anyone who backed him. I didn’t want my name associated with any of it.
I dunno about Lion: that guy always struck me as a weenie. He’s like some Jewish herb that lives in NYC and can’t get a date? Works in programming (but I repeat myself) :-)
Thanks Jay. I may do same.

The fact that you are seizing on the least plausible reason for the election steal is telling, when evidence of ballot manipulation/harvesting is legion. Hell, it’s LEGAL in California, and this time around Republicans there used it to their advantage, and won. They hoist the Dems on their own petard. But the Stupid Party has been too stupid to do this everywhere.

According to Who/Whom?
Shadowbanning is a real thing and not only on Twitter. It’s easier to see on a website like Reddit because if you just view the subreddit you are posting to without signing in, your posts disappear. However, it’s equally real on Twitter.
It’s a reprehensible tactic. (Unz’s reader-controlled commenters to ignore is much more honest.). Unfortunately, I’m not Musk will not continue its use in the future, even some accounts are getting unbanned now.

With respect to the 2020 election:
Democrats are always telling us how corrupt and cynical and hard boiled the electoral practices are in the cities that they control. If someone tells you, over and over and over again, that they are corrupt: I’ll take them at their word. You better believe them.
Additionally: instead of working to restore confidence and integrity in the electoral system the Democratic approach to “reform” is to introduce further insecurity and further ease of “voting” for whoever happens to wander by and can fog a mirror (in Chicago: ability to fog a mirror is optional).
If you believe that an incompetent (per Obama’s observation) like Biden won millions of more votes than Obama in 2012, you really are a child and have no business adding comments in an adult forum.Replies: @Corvinus, @Inquiring Mind
The Left is big on slogans and catch phrases.
Here are some.
The Right favors turning people away from voting. End voter suppression now!
End voter suppression of dead persons and those who have moved away!
End voter suppression of those who want to vote for someone on the rolls but didn’t show up!
End voter suppression of non-citizens! Scrap the Constitution if we have to!
It's a reprehensible tactic. (Unz's reader-controlled commenters to ignore is much more honest.). Unfortunately, I'm not Musk will not continue its use in the future, even some accounts are getting unbanned now.Replies: @Intelligent Dasein
I’m being banned right here. Kovid Karen, Ukrainiac, wrong-about-everything Steve simply junks my comments now. You have to wonder what’s really going on here.

Your first clip is very interesting. If I were looking for a video that shows typical body language of someone who is lying, this would be an excellent choice.
in the coming Democrat monopoly, his enemies are legion.
however, the US Military wants SpaceX and Starlink. in particular, they want Starship.
this is the power struggle. the rest of Washington DC wants to destroy Musk, but the Defense Department will block all that.Replies: @Dr. DoomNGloom, @Anonymous
Can’t the government simply declare Twitter/SpaceX/Tesla a “national strategic asset” and oust Musk from ownership? (I recall the Roosevelt administration doing this during WWII.)
Really? Steve always approves mine eventually. Sometimes he waits a long time (I think he tries to shape the comments on his threads), but he does eventually.
Also, Steve's editorially inserted "MORE" tags are pretty annoying.

I Accidentally Got SBF To Admit to Fraud

Most of mine are approved, but I’ve had several long posts (that I worked hard on) simply disappear. That pissed me off.
Also, Steve’s editorially inserted “MORE” tags are pretty annoying.
