Instagram gaslighted me. 

Last week, one of my most engaged videos disappeared from Instagram.
No warning. No violation notice. Not in my archive, not in deleted — like it never existed.

Instagram support told me I was “hallucinating.”
(Yes, seriously.)

Let this be your reminder — these apps give us the perception of ownership. But at any moment, they can change the rules, silence your voice, and erase your work. And they don’t even have to own up to it!

The truth is, we don’t own our audience on social media — the platforms do.

Your community? Your content? Your personal brand?
It’s only safe if it lives somewhere you control.

But here's the thing: I wasn't panicked. Why? From day one, I've invested with my newsletter—and this was a powerful reminder to keep investing.

That’s why I use beehiiv.
