That won't help, let's retro engineer and solve it. Where you using a bot? Proxies?You are not alone, I'm crying

So you also use Photo tweets, I'm thinking this banwave might be one specifically for content spammers. I actually spam content every day for years, so that and being on a cheap DC proxy might be enough for Twitter to give me Arkoses and eventually a ban. I'm going to try appealing it, and maybe that's enough for Twitter to acknowledge I'm a human. Appeals never worked since Musk took over but you gave me some hope.

I am here, I fly home early saturday morning, but won't arrive home until mid afternoon Sunday.
Firstly, I need to be careful on BHW as it's against the rules to mention any product you have for sale outside the BST.
As to this ban wave, I was unware until got an email just now with a link to this thread. Whether the cause is the software used, usage patterns, spam patterns, content based, IP based or whether twitter just added some new backend function that is accurately IDing bots, the best thing to do is to just stop things until the dust settles, then we can all try to analyse what they did / how they did it / how was it affected / who wasn't / why etc etc.
All part of the game, sometimes we're winning, sometimes they are.

I have appealed accounts before and never heard anything back. Got this back after 30 minutes using the appeal button. Also the account I appealed now just has an X in the middle of the screen when you login and nothing else

Violating our rules against platform manipulation and spam. |
You may not use Twitter’s services in a manner intended to artificially amplify or suppress information or engage in behavior that manipulates or disrupts people’s experience on Twitter. Thats what I got in my email earlier. |

I got the same email, and it's the first time I saw this reason for a ban in an email. One of the reasons I think it could also be related to posting content.

Are they all Datacenter proxies or did you also use residential? I'm thinking about buying some residential proxies and do some tests. My theory is, it will be harder for Twitter to separate the bots from the real users on Twitter by using residential proxies, but I'm just guessing.

all of them are data center. I dont think they matter coz my home clean IP are also affected.
This is my 4th ban wave and in my experience, they suspend account by link
