Exactly. That was kind of like telling a content creator to build a web site and post videos there after getting kicked off YouTube. Sure, only a fraction of their fanbase will start using their site to consume their content, but hey, at least they have a broader reach than almost anyone on Earth had 20 years ago.

My point is that while it may suck, it’s not the violation of human rights that some people treat it as. So I understand if someone kicked off YouTube complains about it but I’m not going to entertain the idea they’ve been silenced.
