I was kicked off of 📝Notion in 2017 when I was forced off of their platform for unknowingly overtaxing their 📝API by driving public-facing traffic to free/public educational content about 📝Reddit marketing.
Back then, I was publishing content on 📝Reddit marketing and using Notion's 📝Knowledge Management system as a 📝Content Management System (CMS) for that work. As I began to publish the resources that I had developed as answers to questions people were asking on Reddit, the pages drew enough external traffic that Notion leadership team noticed the spike. After fighting for two months to get on an enterprise sales call with the CEO to determine what they desired to enable me to continue doing such, he explicitly said to me, "we're not building Notion for people like you."
Frustrated by this and by the architectural mismatch between Notion's private-document model and my desired model of combining internal knowledge management with external content publishing, I began comissioned an engineer friend to build an alternative. In March 2018, that project eventually shipped as 📝MythOS, a platform whose architecture treats public-facing content, knowledge graphs, and API-served pages as defaults rather than features bolted on after the fact.
