PSA AND URGENT:
I have been shadowbanned from twitter, and Messari is facing never-before-seen mass reporting of all major business and personal accounts over the past 48 hours. Our MailChimp account is also experiencing strain and degraded delivery. I believe it's from our COVID-19 coverage, and we're now being limited as if we'd been reporting on this like ZeroHedge.
If you or your friends, family, and colleagues have benefited from our COVID and crypto coverage, PLEASE:
a) share our newsletter sign-up link with friends & colleagues! We're covering COVID & crypto daily.
b) make sure this email is not in your or your colleagues spam filter, and then double check!
c) check out and share our new COVID-19 tracker, so that others can see it beyond my followers.
This is about as critical as it could be for us. We currently have ZERO impressions coming from accounts beyond TBI twitter followers (our marketing top of the funnel), and even my 95k followers (earned over 7 years of producing high-quality content) are reporting that my tweets and replies are now hidden.
I need your help, and Messari needs your help as this is a critical juncture for us to maintain any sort of growth (or non-declines) given the 12-18 months of coming headwinds.
Yes, we need a decentralized alternative to Twitter, but in the meantime, this is crippling for us.
If anyone has a lead to getting a verified account or getting me un-shadowbanned, it's about fucking time this idiot got a blue check mark...something I've never cared about until *not having it* jeopardized our growth as a company.
Thanks for your ongoing support, and STAY SAFE!
