Why would young people care if their tweet/tik is advertiser friendly? It seems like it would be the platforms, not the users, that encourage this behaviour?

Why would young people care if their tweet/tik is advertiser friendly? It seems like it would be the platforms, not the users, that encourage this behaviour?
- Bakary 4y agoThey care because your content gets scrubbed without warning by the algorithm, and there is no way to appeal. The problem is particularly acute on YouTube.

- SllX 4y agoAnd Twitch which is also trigger happy with the TOS violations.
- irthomasthomas 4y agoSo the users don't care, but are forced to care by their platforms arbitrary rules?
- Bakary 4y agoIf it were actual rules, it would be a lot simpler even if it were arbitrary. But usually it's AI blackbox decisions with very few humans you can ever talk to afterwards, even if the person in question makes a living from their account. From what I gathered on HN, there are known but undocumented cases of FAANG employees extracting sexual or other favors for account unlocks or arbitrarily seizing accounts with noteworthy usernames.
