Platform dependency — losing an audience built over a decade

Reddit · r/smallbusinesspainkiller2026-10-15

Pain point

10k+ followers wiped with no human support contact; "rented followers" vs owned customer data.

Signal

44 upvotes; recurs implicitly in post 5 ("ads too expensive") — both are "I don't control my distribution" complaints. Highlighted comment: *"You need to own your customers' info — email list, not rented followers"* — a near-explicit unmet-need statement.

Opportunity

Follower-to-email migration service: continuous content/DM/follower backup across IG/TikTok/FB, plus done-for-you lead-magnet funnel to convert followers into an owned list; sold as "insurance" at $20–40/mo. Medium difficulty (API/ToS limits), but the backup-only version is quick.
