For those that rely on social media, this is probably the biggest upside to there being social media platforms... not all of them will take you down at once.

Other than that, this is probably because the content owner has a product called "Switch", and they are not as big and mighty as Nintendo. Makes me think that if you are creating a brand or product name, better use a made-up word



Another company has a store called Super Mario, and the courts are reasonable enough to realize that they don't compete: https://ticotimes.net/2025/01/30/david-vs-goliath-costa-rica...


I don't buy the switch speculation. Since we have zero info it sounds too arbitrary.
