The advertiser sees that. So now its hitting the pocketbooks of the advertisers. And if you hit the pocketbooks of the advertisers then the advertisers will start hitting the pocketbooks of Instagram and the same goes for Twitter and Facebook. So guys, every time you see an advertisement on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook comment that you’re not going to buy from an advertiser on that platform until the owners of that platform stop censoring their users.
This is a form of trickle down boycotting. Or maybe it should be called trickle up boycotting. Anyway it’s something that I started doing on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
Another thing I do on Instagram is when I see someone advertising some thing that I am pretty sure is from China, I inquire in the comment asking where the product is made or asking “is this product made in China?” If it’s Chinese garbage, it needs to be pointed out. We need to get China out of our economy.
and this is exactly what i'm talking about.
as i said, i'm all for helping grow other platforms to take away the power of FB, twatter, insta, etc... but surrendering is still giving your enemy the win.
stay and fight, and use THEIR Platform to promote your new platform homes.
nothing like some salt in the wound.
also re: youtube.... have you considered switching to Rumble.com? they're emerging as one of the more robust youtube-sucks video platforms
