Something related I saw posted today is the news that the guy in charge of community at Digg ( /u/LordVinyl ) when the fallout occurred was hired to be in charge of shadowbans, something that has seemingly increased a lot (maybe due to the Ellen Pao issue). The /r/videos post is down obviously, but a mirror is here: https://voat.co/v/MeanwhileOnReddit/comments/192235 https://voat.co/v/MeanwhileOnReddit/comments/192235 The problem is that the poster and everyone else was subsequently banned, which created a bit of a backslash.
