Reddit shadow ban
Some will directly block your account so that you can’t log in
Some let you log in normally to browse and comment, but only you can see your own content, and the platform won’t tell you
The platform looks at you like a fool and lets you entertain yourself there, and you get nothing
You doubt your ability, but you don’t know that the platform is deliberately teasing you
This is what I hate most
It’s like they tell you that you can go to school normally for three years and get a diploma. You have worked hard for three years, and they tell you that you have no chance to get a diploma from the beginning of enrollment. No matter what you do in your three years, it’s in vain. You can attend classes normally, you can take exams normally, but no matter what you do, you can’t graduate from the beginning
You could have chosen other schools, you could have done other jobs, but it just watched you waste three years in vain and get a result that is doomed to fail without telling you
It’s really cheap
E-commerce big data
The same ticket is sold to others for $100 and sold to you for $500
When you browse for the first time and don’t buy the ticket, the second time you browse and buy the ticket again, the price changes from $500 to $800. Only you can see this price
Even if a plane has tickets, you are told that it is sold out and you need to buy a first-class ticket to get a ticket
As a user, you have no perception of the whole process. If other customers hadn’t accidentally told you the price of the ticket, you would never know that you were deceived by big data
Android phone users have to pay $100, and Apple phone users have to pay $200 for the same product
New users have to pay $100, and old users have to pay $500
Those who have applied for membership have to pay $100, and those who have not applied for membership have to pay $200. However, after a period of time, the price of the product for those who have applied for membership is increased by $300, and they are deceived that the discounted price is $200. It is a deception from beginning to end
No reason for account suspension
You browse, trade, and use an Internet website or app normally
You have used it for three to five years, such as a mobile phone number or social software, but they suddenly blocked your account for no reason
It may be accidentally injured by AI, or it may be the staff’s wrong operation. In short, it doesn’t matter to them
But for you, your friends can’t contact you, your other third-party logins can’t be verified and logged in, the online albums and files you uploaded are gone, and the accounts and products you have worked hard to operate with hundreds of thousands and millions of fans are taken off the shelves. You have no source of income, and the advertising fees you spent are useless
But you have no way
Even if you get your account back through complicated methods later, everything you have is gone, and you can’t do anything
This is why even if youtube, tictok, ins, redit and other platforms have a lot of traffic and income, you still have to actively obtain users’ email addresses and build your own independent website
Because in this way, when they block your account or they go bankrupt, you can still continue your own business
Disappearing Tickets
Physical stores deliberately use pen and ink that will automatically disappear over time, and after half a year, it will become a blank sheet of paper
The Internet will also secretly change the orders you have purchased to hidden, and your purchase records cannot be searched
As a result, you have no evidence at all when you check or defend your rights later, and you may even suspect that it was bought in their store because it has been too long
So you must archive your own electronic files at ordinary times, and don’t be bothered by trouble
Because the more hidden merchants are, the more they are used to harm you from the beginning
For example, food safety, such as selling high-priced digital products to you with junk digital products. If you don’t have receipts or evidence, you have no way at all, because the data is in the hands of others
So you have to shoot videos and pictures at any time to archive, add time watermarks, and archive and retrieve OCR files
Your deposit receipts, insurance receipts, shopping receipts, and ID receipts must be archived electronically
Tips
If it wasn’t for chatgpt’s analysis that my redit account was shadow-banned and would never be unblocked normally again
I would never know
If redit was a real person and played me like this, I would have beaten it up long ago
But because it’s a virtual platform, I have no way to deal with it
It’s useless to complain, nothing is useful, I can only bear it myself
