How to disable Autoplaying Videos on Twitter

Posted on March 24, 2021

Do the videos on your Twitter Timeline start playing automatically just as soon as they scroll into view?

If so, that’s due to a Video Autoplay feature that causes videos to begin playing on their own without any prompting from the user.

Personally, I don’t really like autoplaying videos in general. I prefer to choose for myself whether to play a video or not.

If you don’t care for Twitter’s Video Autoplay feature you can easily turn it off. [Read more…]

Q&A: What exactly does it mean to be ‘shadow banned’ on Twitter?

Posted on December 22, 2020

Question from Estelle:  I have a question for you, Rick. I keep hearing about people having their Twitter accounts “shadow banned”.

I don’t know exactly what that means but I’m wondering if maybe my account has been shadow banned.

I used to receive dozens of new followers every day but I’ve only received three over the past two weeks. And hardly anyone likes or re-tweets my tweets anymore. They used to do it all the time.

Can you tell me exactly what shadow banning is? And how can I tell for sure if my account is shadow banned?

Thanks in advance for your help.

twitter-logoIf you could only post one tweet per day, when would be the best time to do it?

I’ve seen this question asked over and over on various social media forums, and as you might expect there sees to be no uniform answer.

Some people prefer to tweet in mid-morning, others at night. In other words, this isn’t a good question to ask in a forum if you want an accurate answer.

Well, thanks to a fairly comprehensive body of research, we don’t really have to guess about when is the best time to post a single daily tweet.  [Read more…]

How to schedule posts on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for publication at a later time

Posted on October 12, 2019

There are times when it would be nice to have the ability to schedule a post to go live on your Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn timeline at a later date and time.

Facebook already allows users to schedule posts for future publication on “business pages”, but they don’t allow you to do it with your personal account. And neither do Twitter and LinkedIn.

However, a fantastic service called TwitTimer allows you to schedule your posts for later publication on all three of those social media platforms.  [Read more…]
