"Abundantly obvious to literally everybody" is something that all the commenters who I quoted at that link would agree with. They just disagree violently about what is abundantly obvious to literally everybody.
How about this: There is no doubt in my mind -- none -- that you know exactly what I'm talking about.
And all anyone really needs to know, in order to suspect dishonesty and censorship from you, is an awareness of your shadowbanning tactics.

It's ok though. There are other culturally influential websites where people/groups can market their ideas, cults, viewpoints, albums, etc. And some of them don't shadowban. Some of them do something a little different instead.
