Social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter have been fantastic sources of income for influencers who use affiliate marketing to monetize their online businesses.
I think particularly of folks in the fashion and beauty industries who upload videos to YouTube, loaded with affiliate links in the video descriptions, and then share links to those videos to their other social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter.
That's all well and good until one of those social media accounts gets suspended, for reasons you might never have imagined.
