Not really. There's something called The Streisand Effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect ).

Invariably, people take the opportunity to publicly declare how opposed they are to various abhorrent people, indirectly making others aware of them and their ideas. This entire page of comments on HN is a good example.

It's hilarious that people don't recognize that when they say "I will not read this" it is an advertisement.
