Rant: I paid $60 for a meme archive tool and it saved my butt when Facebook banned my page
Last month I dropped $60 on a tool called MemeKeep because I run a small meme page about city council meetings in Portland. I thought it was a waste at first, just another subscription. But then Facebook hit my page with a ban over a meme about potholes and I lost 3 weeks of posts. MemeKeep had a backup of every single meme I ever shared, plus the dates and captions. I restored everything in about 20 minutes. Without it, I would have lost 5,000 followers and all my best stuff. Now I tell everyone who runs a meme page to get some kind of backup. The tool also tracks when a meme gets flagged, which helped me figure out what words trigger bans. If you run a page that shares banned memes, how do you keep your stuff safe?

Losing 3 weeks of work over a pothole meme is rough, city council pages get hit for the dumbest stuff. My buddy ran a page about local zoning drama and got nuked for a joke about a traffic cone, took him months to rebuild. The part about tracking which words get flagged is the real value, that's the stuff nobody tells you until after you're banned. Glad you got your posts back, 20 minutes beats starting from zero any day. Backups feel like a waste right up until the day they don't.
