Well, sir, there's your problem right there. No social media site likes to have advertisers externalize the advertisers' costs to the social media site. Users don't like to see ads, they'll maybe tolerate ads that are relevant, but ads that the advertiser thinks are relevant, and the users don't? Well, those draw complaints.

Does Reddit "shadow ban" anyone? I thought that the phrase "shadow ban" was just the Qanon computer illiterates complaining about how everyone ignored their crazy rantings.

Yah reddit does shadowban when they detect automated spammy activity. Such as creating a lot of accounts with the same IP. Shadowbans are different from bans done by admins.

Sorry, but this is extremely ignorant. Even HN does some shadow banning.
