It's not censorship in that it's technically still visible. But it's like shouting over someone when they try to speak. You're still preventing most from accessing the message unless people make a greater effort to find those messages.
Not even from a pure user posting perspective, it’s just too easy to manipulate them for things like subtle advertising.
I worry though that we’ve entered a world where people don’t know how to look for content without it.
