It was probably first noticed widely on twitter with the name *shadow banning* and it still exists even though name changed to x. This is not new. Youtube has been doing it for ages, they boost or nerf certain content or the creator depending on whether the creator or content is profit friendly or not. Everyone who knows this from ages somehow thinks that video game companies don't do it or it is just the bots employed by these companies who disagree with you. I myself know this from my own personal experience where a game called apex legends by repsawn+EA keeps nerfing free user's accounts, boost consistant spender's accounts and their gameplay. They feed free users to consistantly spending users as cannon fodder. Free users are those who do not spend money to buy virtual items in the game. They haven't spend money and most probably won't. There are also statistics in these games and I have seen on multiple occasionson how they undo/overwrite/modify your statistics all of a sudden includingthe hours you have spent. ex: daily challanges. Everyday they reset at 3.30pm IST. I start doing them around 4pm IST. I did that yesterday and today when I checked around 3.14pm, the daily challange itself was changed. I have not played octane in like a month but one of the daily challange is to play the octane 4 times and it shows that I have completed that part. I have completed 2/5 daily challanges. 1 of the incomplete challange was get 10 kills or assists. I have like 15 minutes and I would definitely won't be able to do it even though I have nearly 10k hours on this game. 4 days ago 1 of the daily challange was to get 10knock outs. I was playing as fuse. I got stuck at 8 KOs and every thing else was just getting counted as assists. After hours and hours, aftger 50 assists, I got 10KOs and that too when I started exiting the game within first 5 minutes of the game If I don't get a KO or a kill count because then the AI realised that the game is not going to get my free time without giving me something in return.
