The Algorithm Doesn’t Know the Difference Between Art and Risk
The Internet Doesn’t Want Human Beings Anymore
I’m leaving Meta platforms. It was a short visit.
Not because my content was hateful.
Not because I threatened anyone.
Not because I promoted violence.
I was permanently banned from Instagram for posting cinematic promotional clips (see video link below) tied to my new auto-fictional psychological novel I wrote.

Meanwhile these platforms are flooded daily with:
real fight videos
girls dragging each other through school hallways
biker gang brawls
rage content engineered for engagement
fake prostitution and scam accounts flooding inboxes nonstop
That survives.

But fictional atmosphere from a literary novel gets erased instantly by automated systems that no longer understand the difference between art, memory, fiction, context, and actual harm.
No warning.
No discussion.
No opportunity to remove the content.
No appeal process.
Just deletion.
The strangest part is realizing how many artists and creators are quietly reshaping their work around invisible moderation systems that don’t understand nuance, tone, or intent. Eventually everything starts flattening into the same safe algorithm-approved emotional frequency.
That’s not a creative ecosystem.
That’s behavioral conditioning.
I’d rather build slowly somewhere else than keep feeding systems that treat actual creators like disposable risk scores.
The work still exists.
The books still exist.
The stories still exist.
That matters more than the shitty Meta platform.
