Shadowbanning seems a bit fraudulent as well: advertisers are led to believe there's a particular level and type of engagement on the platform, but it's at least partly false.

I'm in favor of anything that makes advertisers waste money, since their entire endeavor is evil.

I'd have thought that if you were shadowbanning enough people for that to make a difference, then your platform already has worse problems.
