LinkedIn Bans Writer Without Warning, Raising Concerns About Creator Economy Fragility

LinkedIn 😠

6mos ago

Ashish Bamania shared on Medium his experience of being unexpectedly banned from LinkedIn. Ashish woke up one Sunday morning to find his account restricted permanently, with no explanation or prior warning from the platform.


The writer speculates that the ban might have been triggered by his recent activity, including starting a newsletter and posting programming articles frequently. This incident raises concerns about the fragility of the creator economy, where years of audience-building can vanish instantly without clear reasons.


Although Ashish's account was eventually restored after contacting LinkedIn support, the experience served as a wake-up call. He plans to focus on building an independent online presence through email lists and a personal website to mitigate the risks of platform dependence.
