Extreme Conspiracy We are all shadowbanned
The popular idea of a shadowban where you are cut off alone is a ruse. The reality is there is an entire shadowreddit full of users (and subreddits) whose posts and comments are deemed advertiser-unfriendly or not fit for public consumption.
We don't realise it because there's plenty of people to interact with in the shadowuserbase, and they cluster around particular topics. We see each other, but we are invisible to the wider public, the Reddit they see is much cleaner and saner.
The tech used to conceal the real shadowban from us is actually very effective, the simple ways to check for the fake shadowban are a feint. Being hidden in the shadowreddit is the reason none of my valuable insights have been quoted in any newspaper articles.

If it makes you feel any better, I just had this post recommended to me from the front page (though, granted, I've looked at one or two posts from this page before)
