“you got lucky”

the luck👇

[Daniel Dalen @Danieldalen]

the real lesson: if a platform can switch your audience off overnight, you don't own it. you're renting it.

that's why i built my email list years ago. 40k people i can reach no matter what.

since this happened, my dms have been full of people offering to unban my account for up to $10k.. this doesn't sit right with me.

i'm all for making the internet a safe place, but creators shouldn't have to pay a middleman to get a fair review.

@nealmohan, @mosseri let's hop on a livestream and talk about it, for everyone to see. dms are open.

The amount of people this happened to around me is absolutely disgusting.

Already being messaged with a ‘10k usd’ fix.

@YouTube help out please - absolutely insanity you allow this to happen.

[Daniel Dalen @Danieldalen]

this isn't new. if you want to go deeper, read the reporting that exposed it:

@KirstenGrind & @bobmcmillan on meta staff allegedly taking bribes to restore accounts
@KBlazeBaum & @alexposadzki on the underground brokers profiting off hacked accounts

it's still happening. now to creators.

over-engineering is the most common problem I see when speaking to founders - keep things simple.
