I have been an X Premium Plus subscriber since September 2024.
I was verified in June 2021.
I have 2.3 million followers and I would like to share an observation I have noted here on X.
I know this post will be deboosted.
In recent months on X, there have been growing complaints from African users and creators about reduced post visibility and uneven treatment, particularly over the past few months leading up to early 2026.
Africans on X have their posts deboosted and denied visibility.
Probably, it could be algorithmic manipulation that prioritises "nonsensical" or low-value content (like rage bait, low-IQ comics or trivial topics) for African audiences while suppressing more intellectual or substantive discussions from Africans.
Non-Africans' (especially Americans') intellectual content and viral political posts flood African timelines, but the reverse doesn't happen. This is the deprioritization of African creators on X.
A bigger flashpoint has been X's creator monetisation program, where many African creators reported receiving little to no payments in the January 2026 payout cycle despite reporting considerable engagement.
Every hour, I receive 3 or 4 of these OnlyFans slop in my DM yet when my followers DM me, their messages bounce or remain undelivered.
When I asked @X why Africans are being pushed to the bottom of the barrel here on X, I was told,
• Africans use bots and spam to cheat the algorithm.
• Africans don't have "interesting" information that generates engagement.
• Only 1% of Africans on X are verified, therefore, less prioritisation.
I find these excuses to be flimsy and bordering on deprioritization of Africans on X.
X is a global platform, and it should treat Africans the way it treats the rest.
@elonmusk and @nikitabier should look into this.

Pictures/videos of NUP leaders and supporters being brutalized by different security agencies everywhere on the Internet.
Meanwhile, the "I choose peace" gang.
The Latin Rite of the Catholic Church (what is commonly referenced as the Roman Catholic Church) are interesting fellows. Especially, in Uganda. Other, mostly evangelical protestants MAY talk about them, or even, with a few radicals, demonize them, but these guys just keep quiet.
They will go to mass or whatever celebration their church has sanctioned. Open schools. Build hospitals. Try as much as possible to support orphans. Discipline errant and sexually deviant priests. Open up banks and factories. Build small power dams, etc, then go support pork joints and all manner of distilleries by taking wine and other bitters.
And, still, grow. They are rarely bitter fellows. Some evangelical protestants could take a lesson from them.
In case you were wondering, there are around 7 (or even more) rites of the Catholic Church. The Alexandrians, Chaldean, Syriac, Syro-Malabar, Maronite, and Armenian.
I am fully evangelical protestant, before you come.
My favourite East Afrikan team is UGANDA CRANES.
Their Football Federation is exemplary at how they organize football from grassroots to schools to their national tournament.
Recently, one of their strikers, called Denis Omide, had his goal nominated for Puskas 2024.
