Question from Estelle:  I have a question for you, Rick. I keep hearing about people having their Twitter accounts “shadow banned”.

I don’t know exactly what that means but I’m wondering if maybe my account has been shadow banned.

I used to receive dozens of new followers every day but I’ve only received three over the past two weeks. And hardly anyone likes or re-tweets my tweets anymore. They used to do it all the time.

Thanks in advance for your help.
