Unobtrusive? Try having a legitimate criticism of Apple. Odds are it gets flagged.

I don't mean to limit it to Apple, the mods have a heavy hand.

Oh, bad opinions get downvoted or flagged all the time regardless of how they’re presented.

My opinion of “ad tracking is not harmful” obliterated whenever I express it.

"Yelp brings value to its users" was obliterated a few days ago.
