## Beating Algorithmic Suppression

Social platforms act rapidly to protect user experience. A 'Shadowban' refers to the silent suppression of your content. You can still post, but the algorithm refuses to push your content to non-followers via the Explore page or Reels feed.

### FAQ

**Q: How do I know if I'm shadowbanned?**
A: If your post analytics show that 98%+ of your reach came from 'Home' (existing followers) and less than 2% came from 'Explore' or 'Hashtags', the algorithm is actively restricting your content's virality.
