alt Hacker NewsNobody cares until the automated trust and safety bot bans an account for no apparent reason and you can't contact a human for help. Before that happens though, how do you get someone to care? I suppose it's risk management at that point.

You don't. Only a relatively small minority will care, most will happily take what they're given (even if, paradoxically, they spend time complaining about the thing).
It's not a matter of logic/reason/rationality. It all comes down to "I don't want to think; just give me the good feeling."
To be fair, Google Search does this to sites too. Small sites can see all their traffic disappear within a few days if an algorithm update goes against them. And there is zero recourse.
