Five Bans Deep

To My Lovely Readers: Why I Wrote "Five Bans Deep" to Roast Facebook’s Hypocrisy

If you’ve ever been hit with a Facebook ban for a snarky comment or a meme that barely pushed the line, you’ll feel me on this one. My new song, Five Bans Deep, is a folk tune that takes a sharp, sarcastic jab at Facebook’s double standards. Picture this: I’m scrolling, and there’s an ad with nude women, captioned “Find Horny Strangers Online!” — blatantly against their so-called “Community Standards.” Yet, I’ve been slapped with five 30-day bans for way less, like a cheeky joke or a spicy take. This song is my way of calling out that hypocrisy.

Facebook Ran This As A Sponsored Ad On Its Platform

The contrast is infuriating. Facebook lets these provocative ads slide, but my harmless posts? Straight to Facebook Jail! Five Bans Deep captures that frustration, with lyrics that feel like a conversation—think Leonard Cohen’s poetic bite or early Bob Dylan’s wit. I added a third verse and a bridge to hammer home how Facebook’s rules seem to bend for ad revenue while cracking down on regular users like us.

This song’s for anyone who’s navigated Facebook’s inconsistent rulebook or rolled their eyes at the sketchy ads flooding their feed. Below are the lyrics, and I’d love to hear from you in the comments: Have you been burned by Facebook’s double standards? Seen those “Find Horny Singles” ads yourself? Share your story, and let’s keep the conversation going.
