There's probably a business opportunity here. Same way a handful of companies control the email marketing business by selling spam bucket avoidance, there's probably companies out there that will pay to keep their social media presence healthy. Charge marketers a monthly fee to own the relationships with Insta/Twitter/Google. Reputation insurance.
- tpetry 6y agoSomeone should build a company i contact when something goes wrong! Like someone i call when one of the faang companies is blocking me who has many of friends at these companies who can get things done, like the monthly topic on hn when someone got blocked and only unblocked because they have a large fanbase.
- Tabular-Iceberg 6y agoWhat would those companies do for leverage against the platforms? Paying a fee to such a company is one thing, but I'd imagine having them force you and everyone else in their portfolio into a boycott of the platform would be a tough sell, especially as long as said portfolio is still too small to have an effect.
- tootie 6y agoWhat leverage do email companies have? They do it by having enough scale to maintain a more personal relationship with the email providers (goog, ms, apple, aol, vz, etc). And it's not like Insta banned this guy because of some nefarious plot. They want people like him on his platform and want to be able to remedy accidental bans. They just suck at moderating. An intermediary can help them and they'd be glad to deal with them. They don't need leverage, just credibility.
