You Got Kicked Off a Site ... Now What?
A few years ago, OnlyFans, a site known for porn explicit content, shocked everybody when they announced they’d no longer allow this material on their site.

Imagine this—you're making a ton of cash doing your thing, then you get booted. You go from "comfortable" to zero, in seconds.
I've had it happen. I've had successful projects kicked off both iTunes (music) and Amazon simply because somebody there decided to pull the plug on me. And we've all seen this happen to creators on YouTube.
Let me be clear—I'm not talking about crazy-ass, right-wing theories about "big tech censorship" or playing victim here. I'm simply saying that, if you're going to rely on one point of distribution (or promotion, or income … anything), you're taking a risk.
Diversify, regardless of the type of podcast (and other content) you release. Safeguard your creative endeavors by spreading your wings across multiple platforms. By diversifying your distribution and income streams, you reduce the risk of losing everything overnight if one platform changes its rules or shut you out.
Stay proactive, keep exploring new opportunities, and always have a backup plan ready.
