MailChimp Account Suspension, Email Marketing Deliverability Challenges

MailChimp suspended a host's newsletter account after the "Omnivore" algorithm flagged the terms "vaccine" and "experimental" in the same sentence. The discussion highlights the high costs of professional email deliverability, noting that companies like Podshow previously paid $20,000 to $30,000 monthly to avoid spam filters. Google and other major providers are described as competitors that prioritize their own marketing over third-party newsletters.
