If you’re not paying, X is simply not designed to help you grow.
But the good news is this:
👉 There are better, free platforms where your writing actually matters.
👉 You can get comments, readers, and engagement without paying anything.
👉 You don’t need Premium to be heard — you just need the right platform.
Medium, Substack, Reddit, Threads, and YouTube Shorts all give you something X no longer does:
A fair chance.
