I paid $99 initially to join Gab about a year and a half ago. I would NEVER pay again. At the start, I had over 1800 written replies to a one paragraph comment on one post. I only had a few hundred followers at the time. Now I have 2.5 thousand followers and am lucky to get 10 interactions. I post original content and articles. I do not see the people I follow and want to see and they do not see me. I was censored and removed once already since the cutesy emoticons arrived. Do not trust the platform if you value your privacy. It is collecting data that will eventually be used against you in some way. It is the same censoring that is used by Fakebook and Twittler. Today I could not post a comment or share a well written paragraph. The message was "YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE OR COMMENT ON THIS POST..." GAB IS HEAVILY CENSORED BY SHADOW BANNING!
