I never created a fake internet persona, so I speak my honest mind each time I'm online. It sometimes get me banned, I'm an unapologetic mix of personality. Due to this, I get banned from social media twice a year or so.
Funny, half a year ago being banned from a subreddit would be distressing, but now I got a three day ban from Reddit as a whole and I can't see it as anything but hilarious. Especially since ban is just for posting and commenting, while 90% of what I do is reading. It's not even a punishment!
This got me thinking. Social media can't truly ban people, because every banned person is simply one less viewer. They get their money from showing advertisements, so if someone can't see their website it's a financial loss. There are no consequences on social media, because consequences hurt owner of the social media more than they hurt user.
Ah, and why have I been banned this time? Ireland is passing a law that they will cut ties with war criminals and those who trade with them. Probably aimed at Germany for keeping trade with Russia, but the biggest war criminals in the world are also USA and Israel. I commented "Anything that both USA and Israel hates must be a good thing by default" and got banned for Hate Speech.
