Paypal, Ko-Fi, and all these other websites are tracking you through the links you click and the cookies you pick up along the way.
They then gather that information, analyze it and then use that to inform them as to which accounts to nuke. As an example, if you post a ko-fi link directly on baraag or pomf, then they look into the site and discover the content there, they can use that to kill your account even if you posted nothing but the link.
they are networking everything you do through the websites you visit and build a pattern of activity but it only matters if you do business on those sites. So as an example,
if I were posting my paypal.me link here and I started getting commission money through it, that would kill my account.
Direct links might be the key. Break them up! Manually typing in links and using QR codes in your art might be the solution.

@MagnumImpulse that's a solid idea because yeah, websites can tell where you've been if you click a link to get there.
even something as simple as leaving spaces or putting an emoji somewhere in the link so all someone has to do is press the delete key once will suffice.
