That's actually a very interesting idea I hadn't seen before. Certainly makes it less obvious that one has been shadowbanned, and probably would help keep (non-bots) happy. I wonder if it'd be worth the investment to implement.
By the way the NYT article is fake https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31588260

Still an interesting idea though.

Which is a step backward, because it now costs you ongoing money to ban someone in this way.
