As they are refusing to accept theirs :)
This is just contract negotiation. I'm not sure why you have an issue with it (or would desire to ban it). You have told them "we want to change the terms'. They are saying "no". Great, so move if you don't like that supplier.
Humorously, the thing you (and reddit) want to perform by banning is known as "concerted refusal to deal":

And, as I've also mentioned at length (in the post and its links, as well as elsewhere) advertising itself is the problem in multiple aspects. The sooner we render it nonviable, the sooner we move to something that works.

It sounds like your your mechanism of dealing with the opposing opinion is to censor it? That seems bad ... Why not say: "let them do what they want, and let me convince people they are wrong on the merits?"

- DannyBee 11y agoNot in any convincing way .... It basically amounts to "because we think we are super right". I gotta be frank, if this is the cure, it seems much worse than the disease.
