This will be the subject of a future podcast called "When Feeling Vulnerable is a Good Thing"
Thanks Pipplellia from @geyserfund for encouraging me to do this.

I'm seeking 3-5 independent podcasters with similar points of view, across a range of podcast subjects and styles, to build a support network with me. This is a plan that will be duplicable. Other small groups can use similar methods and expand on them to form a loose affiliation.
I'm building my podcast without any YouTube or social media. It's a challenge, and I think people can understand it even if they don't want to go through the hassle of it. There's power in numbers. A small cadre of podcast addicts can make a dent.
I have learned a lot in the one month that I've been doing these, and my trajectory is upward. 3-5 of us could do a lot. I went from 18 total downloads and video views my first week, to over 1200 after my fourth week. I did that without BlewitTube or panic-trauma social media. (Work!)
I want to prove this can be done. I want to boycott those outfits as much as possible until they become honest organizations regarding the reasons for their censorship.

BELIEVE IN US, and I'm saying that as only a me at this time.

Why do this? Because it's possible for adults to engage in freedom of speech and association to discuss anything—any health issues, any financial issues, issues of import across a range of topics—without the threat of censorship and de-banking. It's sad that this is the route people have to take.
Nothing but respect to the battlers out there taking on those companies. We will stay abreast of your efforts and please support us too.
