episode. And let me start by saying, I believe that 99% of people will never be shadow banned

in their entire life on Instagram. But 100% of people feel like they've been shadow banned at one

point or another. In fact, according to a recent poll in my own personal broadcast channel on Instagram, 70% of respondents said that they feel like they've been shadow banned at one point or another. So in today's episode, I'm going to do four things in the following order. First, I'm going to help you understand what exactly the shadow ban actually is. Second, I'm going to help you understand why it feels so flippin common.

Third, I'm going to show you a way that you can actually check to see if your account has been shadow banned,

secretly limits a user's content visibility, making it seem like they're posting normally,

I think a huge reason why people feel like they've been shadow band is because the algorithm

feels like a secret.

For most people, the algorithm is very confusing, it's overwhelming, it's kind of this obscure

thing that they don't really understand, they kind of hear everyone talking about it, but it doesn't really make sense.

And so it feels kind of like a secret. And thus, their account not getting very many views or not getting as many views as they feel that it should is also a secret. But that's where I come in. Hello, my name is Brock. And it's my job to help you understand the algorithm in simple terms to give you the no BS facts about how to actually grow on Instagram. And while I'm constantly giving you algorithm updates and best practices, if I'm to simplify

the algorithm into one sentence, it's this.
