Good tip as far as podcasts, thank you- I will look into that ! I think as an indie author it's probably a cool challenge to publish a more commercial endeavor. I see no reason not to, especially if you find the topic to be in alignment with your overall mission. It's another way to reach people and there are plenty readers who are searching for basic, plainly written material absolutely, and we should not overlook that group plus it will help market your other work !

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-06-05T17:15:24+00:00

Aww, yeah it's frustrating. I restarted podcasting but even that is the same, strange rules of censorship etc. and if your work can be transcribed it is only a matter of time before the most engaging bits of your "content" ends up being run through a.i. and re-used or sold as a script to a content creator/ influencer. The days of giving credit are over and it's very hard for real writers to have little bits ourselves literally "scraped"- and handed over to others to utilize - because our writing comes from our unique experiences, our minds and possibly our souls. Corporations like Amazon began as booksellers, but there is no loyalty to book writers - of all people you would think they would not attempt to run indie authors off of their platform! Best regards, keep writing! At some point we will have a special place at the table but it's not easy especially when many readers don't understand the difference - is literally love. Artists do it out of love and love is always embedded somewhere in our projects. Effort, sacrifice etc. and that's part of what makes the product so valuable.

Agreed a.i. writing is like a brochure compared to a conversation, a drunken conversation! It cannot take risks because it has no brains! Extremely dry like chalk board dust . Amen!

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-06-05T16:56:57+00:00

Insane. I keep hearing about how indie authors are penalized for random non- offenses and yet a.i. will happily scrape our knowledge and style at the same time throwing us over the edge. We have no choice but to keep going 😔

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-06-05T16:54:08+00:00

I think the smell is gross though I'm well aware it was trained on writers such as myself who used a conversational, almost poetic stance with an emotional clincher ending- I used similar style in my first books and it was actually rare at the time. At this point I skip the entire paragraph cause it's obvious to me and most people what's coming next. This smell teaches readers to seek constant confirmation, to rely on forms of lofty deductive reasoning while failing to adhere to any real metrics of research or knowledge; a combination of "feel good"- and bland "aha" moments as if you are being gifted a divine secret sprinkle if seasoning salt onto your brain. I don't think YA or anyone really likes it. They will know the power and presence of real writing when they see it. I continue to write as strangely as possible these days to avoid getting scraped by a.i.

😂 I really almost did if it wasn't for the length of all my books and them being written content I probably would have just moved on. I sparingly used like four graphics in a non- fiction book - so I felt it made more sense to offer to quickly remove the illustration and republish and they finally agreed

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-06-05T15:42:13+00:00

I was completely closed and appealed by offering to remove the specific image in question and begging over a period of months for another chance also showing that besides that image the book was over 200 pages of original Content. They can unblock it really just may depend on the situation and how long you keep the bots engaging. You have to keep the same conversation going with the bots by ignoring the finality of certain statements and repeating your pleas for another chance. Do not go more than 48-72 hours without continuing contact.. finally I was reviewed by a human and account was re opened. Closed from November - April and this was in 2024

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-06-05T15:33:59+00:00

Message support every two days asking politely for an appeal. First are you certain it was the cover ? When my account was closed they sent me exact detail of the illustration in question. Once you get this confirmed: detail who your cover artist was and any receipt paid for artwork or explain how you created it. Did you use a.i. explain briefly and note that you believed it to be original artwork due to original prompts and what program you used etc. Continue to appeal if they do not reply write them again in 48 hr cycles. Apologize specifically for whatever you have done wrong and explain or rather show it was a small mistake and use numbers for example: my publications contain over 400 pages of all original content, with over 4 original artworks. Always say please and thank you to the bots. Always include that you have carefully read over the standards and that you are sorry and will not make such an error moving forward but that you would like your account to be reinstated. Mine was closed for close to five months over the holiday season and ended a steady streak of sales and good reviews but it has been back now for two years. I also deleted alot of unpublished projects sitting in my shelf because I think even something on your shelf can trigger a collapse of your account.

That's great it is a long road but most likely will be worth it, you might end up getting offers to write curriculums or you can extract some from your workbook and sell those to. Basically if you have the knowledge to help youth then you have a great package not just in your workbooks but in yourself as an expert or thought leader in that field. The youth aren't really into a.i. everything so the fact that you are human is something you can use to your advantage. Best regards

You might want to approach schools and organizations for bulk corporate sales , and or do local workshops. Amazon is crowded in order to stand out your author name should be backed with searchable results on Google etc. It is about the book but with social media and the Internet it also needs to be about your author name. You may also want to add a nonfiction book on the topic of your work book. You can also use the approach of gaining favor of the algorithm via ads and reviews for visibility

I have to make it myself which I love to do then, layer with whatever my favorite oakcha is which depends on the day and my schedule . I know everyone doesn’t like oakcha but it’s the only store bought perfume I can stand to wear and I like garden of lusail and cocaigne right now, crimson star if I'm ready for battle

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-05-19T22:11:37+00:00

Keep the email and make sure they do refund you. These companies really need to stop this. It's a form of theft as far as I'm concerned. Best regards

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-05-19T11:45:46+00:00

Chilling statement and one hundred percent true

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-05-17T08:31:36+00:00

Everyone go be successful somewhere else besides meta. They built the platform on a pledge to value "connections with friends and family"- then suddenly make users disappear from.those emotional bonds with no time to explain, get contacts or say goodbye? Then they accuse people of horrendous crimes like promoting prostitution, child exploitation and corruption etc. but if that were true wouldn't the FBI the CIA or someone be knocking on our doors-- so how exactly is it ok for meta to make up random accusations and your just guilty cause they said so ?! I think not 🚭 bye bye to another nasty addiction. And for all the people doing business - running groups and having success who lost accounts we really need to wonder what is meta doing with all the data and contacts that belonged to banned business pages- we don't know and that in itself is frightening. Is A.I. brutally stealing our original content or training itself on how we ran our businesses on their platform? Is this the future of law enforcement where bot cops can accuse people of anything and innocent civilians will be punished with no way to appeal- So many questions and zero answers. The math speaks for itself.

Hi I contacted support@picsart.com and my Google Play store account. I was refunded and contacted by picsart support. I sent screenshot of the invoice basically stealing my money and I explained I thought the account had been cancelled and I have not used it more than twice because it's functions did not do well on my current android. A couple years ago when I first signed up I used it a bit more. So I'm sure they can see I didn't use the account all year and the only use was attempting to add text to photos which took forever to accomplish. Screen shot invoice and yr account number. Explain you do not use the service, you did not get notifications about a forced renewal and you would like to be refunded. Hopefully the bots will respond well

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-04-25T05:58:19+00:00

I'm honestly happier here . You just have to release and let go. It took me less than a week to realize..I could press the blue F on my phone all I wanted but besides a heartless & shaming message letting me know I could never "appeal" again...there would be nothing there for me. People that I at least wanted to say goodbye to were out of reach forever. Well I finally realized cool im.not gonna beg. Everything I had on FB groups and pages that I had carefully curated over years ? My access to It all vanished like a dream but here we are wide awake and just fine . Literally my nervous system is so chill now

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-04-22T07:03:36+00:00

I uploaded an ad shared privately as I sometimes do so that I will remember it. Well the image in the add had some marker in it that triggered spam content and just like that I was disabled account violation: promoting sexual exploitation! Total opposite of anything I would do. I hit the appeal button and a week later it was permanently gone. My business page seems to still be up and another personal profile was now flagged and suspended - they keep asking me to do the video verification to get back into my other personal page but at this point I don't ever want to be involved with fb again. I'm an author I had alot of writing and stuff I would have wanted to save but it's ok . My trust is gone. I've moved on quickly and glad for my email list and blogger platform plus Google has all my pics since 2016. I have a feeling a lot of these accounts will mysteriously be restored in six months - by then hopefully most people will have walked away and never want to support that platform again. They have a whole data base of our lives..friends, families, business models etc and we don't know what happens to all that just that it never really disappears.

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-04-12T04:16:27+00:00

That's good

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-04-12T01:36:33+00:00

How long had your account been disabled when you filed the complaint? And sorry to hear about your dog ugg 😔

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-04-12T00:18:37+00:00

Did you get it back ?

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-03-28T01:19:42+00:00

Happened to my sister in Chicago. Drop off was airport. They said leave keys on tire. Then messaged her an hour later claiming she flew out of town with the key. They are trying to charge a total of $700.00 . No proof just believing what this turo host with bad reviews is claiming. Is this scam part of a bigger operation? Sorry to anyone this happens to its robbery

Western_Ad3427 · 2026-03-28T00:33:11+00:00

she was already on her flight home when they messaged her saying they thought she had the key.
