Ryback is among those hoping that Elon Musk can gain full control of Twitter. The former WWE superstar has spent months complaining that certain social media companies are conspiring against him. The Big Guy thinks that WWE is working with Twitter to keep his videos and tweets from becoming popular.

In truth, Ryback’s lack of engagement on Twitter likely stems from the fact that the Twitter algorithm pushes his low-quality posts to the bottom since he has repeatedly violated the site’s terms of use. Ryback contends that since he no longer works at WWE, the company is working with Twitter to keep him from being heard.

“1 hour up on the 3 big platforms. 211K views on Tik Tok, 1,130 on IG and 613 in Twitter.”

Ryback complained that he received 211,000 views on TikTok for a recent video. The video depicted a man trying to cut grass on a steep slope and flipping his mower. On Twitter and Instagram, his engagement for the eight-second clip was significantly lower. Ryback’s higher view count on TikTok stems from a video of him eating chips that went viral after fans started using it to make fun of him. It appears he has absolutely no sense of irony.

The fact that CM Punk, Matt Cardona, Buff Bagwell, and others have found success on Twitter doesn’t seem to matter. Ryback’s conspiratorial thinking leads him to believe that he is being singled out. In reality, nobody likes his posts.

Each social media site uses a different kind of algorithm to determine which content gets seen and which gets buried. Ryback’s short videos are perfect for TikTok, where his lucky viral success got him a large following. They don’t necessarily work on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. Instead of learning how social media works and diversifying his content, Ryback has taken the conspiracy route.
