The guy wants so badly to have been canceled because his seemingly right wing politics, but honestly, I suspect someone reported him as being an imposter and it probably wasn't obvious to the moderation team that he wasn't.

All hug boxes are doomed to failure. This is just the latest iteration.

Looking at his profile page[0], virtually every single post is a link to an external site. Very few replies or reposts or plain text posts. Compare that to his Twitter profile[1]. I could easily see this as being detected as a spam bot.

I’m also not one to post stuff to chase cheap clicks

I disagree given this article.

Yeah, it’s a _really_ odd usage pattern. There are a couple of tweets not fitting this mold today, but before that it’s just a few random news articles a day, with largely useless (LLM generated?) attempts at summaries. I’d absolutely buy that it was flagged by some anti-spam ML; not knowing who he is, if I’d been shown this without context I’d have assumed it was some sort of engagement farming bot.
