Ask HN: Amazon delisted me and is destroying my business. What do I do?

I'm at my wits end with big tech platforms. I run a popular photography product company (which was a Kickstarter project in 2014) [0] which gets a lot of love for its ability to help photographers take interesting images. But I'm continually running into walls with BigTechCos. I'm just coming off the end of having had my Instagram account deleted by Facebook because a graffiti artist and his trolls were able to flag my IG account and left me unable to appeal[1]. 20k followers, 4 years of work gone. My entire customer base is primarily on IG and they are shocked to find that I'm not; so I feel the pain every day and the fact that I'm no longer advertising on FB because of it is a loss-loss in my opinion. Can not explain how upsetting it is for me. To add insult to injury Amazon randomly delisted my product. I randomly received an email that they removed me [2]. I checked the listing and saw that a customer had left a bad review. I went to contact that customer [3]

Ask HN: Why Isn't Functional Programming Taking Over?

I have recently been enlightened by LISP, specifically Clojure, and I'm not sure if I can go back to OOP. After experiencing the joy of programming once again, I wonder why FP isn't widely adopted? I understand in startupland that Django and Rails are simple to learn and prototype, but why aren't big companies and others using FP as a main language more often? What are your thoughts?
