Banning COVID skepticism is commercially pretty easy, so while yes the Reddit revolters did win in that case, it was also a small ask as it was not like advertisers liked the content anyway.

I was thinking more of Victoria Taylor, where sure, the community did get rid of Ellen Pao, but they didn't get back AMAs and got an even less considerate and professional CEO.

> Banning COVID skepticism is commercially pretty easy

That wasn’t “skepticism” - it was outright denial of high-school-level biology facts, and it all gets worse from there.

> commercially pretty easy

I doubt it’s that easy - considering Facebook’s inaction.
