If you grow quickly, you get caught in the spam filter.

If you make too many friends, you get caught in the spam filter.

If you comment too much, you get caught by the spam filter.

If you give too many claps, you get caught by the spam filter.

If you read too much, guess what happens? You get caught by the spam filter.

If you make more money than you are supposed to, yes, you already know, you get caught by the spam filter.

We could go on like this for a while, but I think I’ve made myself clear. This spam filter is really a pain in the ass.

I even thought that all of this was on purpose, but I can’t believe that it is the spam filter that chooses who will grow and when it will happen.

A filter doesn’t think, right? He couldn’t think, hey this guy is cool, I’m going to let him move forward and I’m even going to give him a push to help. Of course, this is not possible!

This would mean that only a select few would have the privilege of becoming writers, and that is impossible, or not?

What do you think of this spam filter?
