Totally agree. I experienced anxiety and stress the other day after my account on medium got caught in spam filter and suspended. I had copied a comment from scammer and the algorithm thought I was the scammer. I was devastated and tracked through everything I did and said. I knew I had made a few blunders on medium (but learnt from them) and thought it might be that or other things I hadn't realised I did wrong. So can you imagine depending on something like that for your livelihood. You think all is great but wake up next day and its gone right from under your nose. Its the big big drawback of online or freelance work. Really at the mercy of the algorithm or the client. We aren't nearly as much in control as we would like to believe. A lot is outside our control. The only thing in your control is what you put out there for people tto read. That's something that can be controlled.
