Don't know if it is the reason for the ban, but Niteos main product seems to be a service for creating spam networks. https://www.easyblognetworks.com , https://niteo.co/projects

Ooof, PBNs are literal spam. They're designed to game Google by producing a deluge of low quality content with backlinks on whatever search terms you're hoping to squat on. I'm utterly sick of this kind of junk.

I've been preaching this since forever. Don't rely on PayPal. They're less professional than a kid selling juice next to the road. There are no grace periods with PayPal to give you time to move to another service. There is never more than a generic reason and stonewalling when they terminate you. And yes, their decision is always final. They'll happily terminate your only source of income on a friday afternoon, free…

Comment below states Niteo is a spam creator, so the block seems justified. FWIW, PayPal has always worked for me and customer support gets the job done. Not sure what the problem is if your operation is legit.

Given the vast amount of money and good flowing through through HK I find it hard to believe any established payment processor would lack familiarity with the status of Hong Kong. It looks more like a (poorly) made up excuse to ban undesirable use…

Many people believe that businesses and corporations have a responsibility to uphold and respect free speech as a societal virtue moreso than as a constitutional right. This isn't a crazy position given the power many companies wield over the workings of society.

Social pressure on businesses has always been a big part of capitalist societies and this pressure comes in many forms. Ultimately societies of people are far more than a sum of their economic system. Economic systems shouldn't be what defines the morality of the people in society, that comes through community, culture, media, etc in addition to the judicial systems and governments (which all capitalist economies ope…

What alternative would you recommend? Specifically, I am interested in a method of paying independent contractors.

Bank wire transfers? That is how contractors are typically paid. I have never heard of anyone paid any other way here in Europe, and as a contractor myself wire transfers is the only form of payment I can accept. I guess in North America checks would work too.
