I think the problem (e.g. for advertisers) isn't so much that it is one sided, but more about the quality of the content. 3 top post from /r/politics (right now): * 17 women have accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct. It’s time to revisit those stories * South Carolina women’s hoops team decline invite to White House * Nobody knows where Trump's leftover inauguration funds went, causing outrage and change in Washington One sided: yes. Something that is problematic for advertisers: probably not. On r/the_donald: * Raise your hand if you're the greatest shitposter of all time! GOD-EMPEROR * MRW I wake up to GEOTUS shitpostsGOD-EMPEROR * Stand, Never Kneel! They Deserve Our Respect #fucktheNFL#StandForOurAnthem Now try to be impartial. Is that advertiser friendly? Is that quality content?

T_D is already banned from /r/all. During the election you'd see a T_D post bubble up to the top often enough that Command-F "The_Donald" would give at least 4 out of 200. Now there's not a single post in the top 300. And I don't think they necessarily ran afoul of vote manipulation rules and therefore got banned: the election demonstrates there are just a lot of vocal supporters. It's something of a myth that T_D needs to be banned in order to appease advertisers. They keep to themselves. Fortunately spez is smart. Bringing down the hammer on T_D could very well start a civil war. He seems to be wary of this.
