They are all two-tier systems whereby you are either an elite, or else you are simply a low-level peon. If you are not an influencer and a high-profile personality &#8212; such as a politician, movie star, MSM anchor, popular blogger, or YouTube star &#8212; you are in fact a peon. As a result, the social network will move your posts to the back of the line, and you will receive very little exposure. In short, you are basically shadow banned. A social network may allow you to post as much as you like, but hardly anyone will ever see your posts. That is the gist of the matter. Let me add a final point: Before you fall for their deception, please be advised that paying to be verified on any social network does NOT increase the level of exposure of your posts. I speak from experience.
