I&#8217;m not sure. The company didn&#8217;t offer specifics. So I appealed it. And their response was not human-like. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/franchising-ai\">It was probably a robot<\/a> specializing in canned email responses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I <em>think<\/em> I know why my Twitter account was suspended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, it wasn&#8217;t for anything I did or said that could&#8217;ve been seen   as racist (<em>I never do that<\/em>!). And I certainly didn&#8217;t try to scam anybody. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey&#8230;if you&#8217;re <em>that<\/em> curious about my Twitter suspension, drop me an email. I&#8217;ll share the likely reason for it. Probably. Depends who you are.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>I Was Upset With My Suspension From Twitter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I had built a nice following on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/hub-spoke-business-model-twitter\">Twitter<\/a>. And I got some traction from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefranchiseking.com\/category\/franchise-research\">articles<\/a> and direct advice I gave over the years. So I was mad that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to share my franchise stuff there. Plus, I liked Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, one of the reasons was Twitter was my go-to source for breaking news. &#8220;<em>Was<\/em>&#8221; being the key word here.  Not so much now.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#cdcdcd\">I also liked Twitter because in the early days I was able to connect and meet (<em>in-person<\/em>) people of influence. And a lot of them have become friends. Friendships that include lots of mutual admiration and business networking. Plus, we help each other a lot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Twitter was a terrific fit for my personality. And also how I roll; short, quick spirts of activity and energy. Oh well.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>The Garbage Dump That Is Twitter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Things have really changed at the San Francisco company. For the worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Truth be told, I haven&#8217;t been enjoying Twitter for the past couple of years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I became so used to sharing my articles, thoughts and opinions there, I was doing it automatically. With less and less results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it&#8217;s become more difficult to engage with people on the platform. But the worst part of Twitter (<em>X<\/em>), was (<em>is<\/em>) the discourse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between nasty political &#8220;<em>discussions<\/em>,&#8221; and out-of-control conspiracy theories about vaccines and the 2020 election happily given steroid-type boosting from none other than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2023\/jul\/16\/elon-musk-says-twitter-cash-flow-negative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the owner of Twitter<\/a>, the platform has become a cesspool of whatever is in a cesspool. Cess? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ve been able to quickly get over getting my main account suspended from Twitter. And as I said, the timing couldn&#8217;t have been better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because cesspool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: if you enjoy receiving helpful information on researching and buying a franchise via social media, follow me on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/joellibava\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@thefranchiseking1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Threads<\/a>.   <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I joined Twitter in 2007.
