Banned from More Than Ten Social Media Sites, I Decided to Create My Own

<i>Perhaps the most significant problem of many that I have seen regarding my own participation in social media is that none of the large platforms seem to want me. In most cases, this is because I insist on posting links to articles on the Cheapskate&#x27;s Guide.</i><p>you just answered your own problem.<p>Anyone can create their own social media site, but good luck creating the users, too.

&gt; My involvement started as a way of publicizing the Cheapskate&#x27;s Guide.<p>Well, sir, there&#x27;s your problem right there. No social media site likes to have advertisers externalize the advertisers&#x27; costs to the social media site. Users don&#x27;t like to see ads, they&#x27;ll maybe tolerate ads that are relevant, but ads that the advertiser thinks are relevant, and the users don&#x27;t? Well, those draw complaints.<p>Does Reddit &quot;shadow ban&quot; anyone? I thought that the phrase &quot;shadow ban&quot; was just the Qanon computer illiterates complaining about how everyone ignored their crazy rantings.
