<b>Getting banned is feedback, not failure — and that's the trap</b>

Hot take: the cult of "I've been banned 200 times, that's how you know I'm trying" is survivorship bias dressed up as a badge.

You hear from the operator who treated bans as tuition and lived. You don't hear from the ten who treated bans as tuition, drained their reserves, burned their network relationships, and quietly left the industry. Resilience theater hides a brutal base rate. "Ban = data" is true and also exactly the belief that keeps people feeding a machine that's grinding them down.

Not every loss is a lesson. Some are just losses.
