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.
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.
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.

I do not manage or negotiate with Chinese suppliers.
@Danieldalen manages full @histrips suppliers , negotiate with them and manages the full logistic side.
I always think it's so funny when people say "do you have a different ChatGPT / Claude?, how much yours works so well".
What you know and how you work before A.I existed is so important, it's insane.
One of my clients (9 figure brand) looking for the best of the best ad creative agency.
would appreciate if you could intro below or share :)
Realization of the day, lol.
Give a monkey A.I. and it'll still be a monkey with A.I.
Post-AI knowledge is so important.
I remember reading an article of sequoia on us moving to a service economy because of software being so easy to build now.
Point here is that post-ai knowledge is the key in this transition.
Anyone has any links on this topic?
