Three different platforms have taken something from me. Twice it was automated moderation with no human involved. Once it was my own fault. In none of the three was there a real appeal.

A YouTube strike for "deceiving the audience" on a video that did not. An Amazon flag that pulled monetization from an account with 7,000+ videos, and three months of support who could not explain it because they did not know either. A Facebook Marketplace strike I caused myself, that cannot be cleared or deleted.

What I do differently now, and what I would tell anyone building on a platform they do not own.
