i know this isn't as severe as being suspended but it's still very annoying and concerning. i've been using the site for almost 2 months (web pc version) with no major reach anywhere despite posting every day. the moment i made a reply under a growing tweet 1 week ago i've been getting hundreds of likes on that tweet. great, right? but every time i opened the site i got flagged as a bot because of likes im getting naturally. now im starting to think it's affecting my growth because my own posts maybe get 1-2 likes at best.

it stopped a couple days ago and i figured it was over, but then i had the GALL to make another reply under a growing tweet. people are mass liking and reposting my tweet, and im back to twitter thinking im a bot again. im very close to abandoning posting on the site (probably for the best, i only joined to grow an art audience and it's not working) because it means that the moment i try to reply to people on art posts in the hopes one person follows me, i'll get labelled as a bot again.

now i wonder. is this constant bot flagging/suspicious activity making my account fail to grow with only 10 followers after so many weeks, or is my content just mid? was posting WIPs of my art every day my downfall?

hi, im a digital artist that basically just started out with advertising art. im in college in a degree that's intense so i'd basically only be making money (if at at) once every month during school and maybe as the months go on and i get more customers, a bit more during summers. I signed up for a paypal business account as a sole proprietorship since it was more professional, and now im wondering if i should move forward with signing up for sole proprietorship business documents so that i can provide it to paypal when the need arises.

i did ask paypal about it along with some other details like if i should add a business registration date, income etc on the profile without documents and they said i dont need documents yet and to just provide accurate document details when prompted (i dont want to put false details on paypal so good thing i asked)....... but better safe than sorry hence why im making this post.

considering that this is really new for me, should i just hold off on signing up for a business in my country until i can see actual payment and an income? the requirements for signing up as a business in my country are mostly straightforward but the idea of having to deal with taxes and invoicing while studying is a bit daunting (especially since i just started out). it's basically a "should i sign up as a business and take the risk" sort of thought process. thanks for any help!
