Advertising only works if you advertise where the potential clients are. In my industry that means Instagram. I also do use Google ads and youtube, but the return there is a drop in the bucket compared to instagram, literally a rounding error.
Because I travel for work a lot my time actually at my place of business is important and valuable. Taking time off during a day that I'm there is something I avoid, but in this case I had to and you are right. In went in the middle of the afternoon and there was minimal line. I even got done some other items that I'd been putting off for literal years because I don't ever take time off work.
Banned for content reasons.... because somebody accessed my account and posted who-knows-what on it. Did you not see the screenshot showing a login attempt from Vietnam?
What other content would you like to find with my name on it? My website, jcforbes.com (which currently has nothing on it)? You could search my name with the NC department of commerce and find my business name easily.
I presented all evidence in form of screenshots... exactly what do you think I'm hiding?
What exactly would you propose that I do? I have contacts in Europe who use WhatsApp and they provide that as their contact method. Am I to tell them "nah, I need you to sign up for an account on Signal". My Instagram was for promoting the business - should I have taken a Google AdSense ad out telling the world to switch to Imgur?
Not gmail, I run my emails through a personal server. I can't find any evidence that it was compromised and I, stupidly, didn't check access logs before they cycled out. I just can't think of any other way that they were able to do the password reset without access to my email. Obviously I immediately changed my password.
I used a different phone number, a different email address, profile picture where you can't see my face, and used my middle name instead of my first name. It's likely that they use some combination of IP's that I logged in from, common friends, maybe cookies on one of my devices that I didn't think to clear first.
