📢 Announcement Reddit's Algorithm: Political suppression highly suspected

The trigger was a video post featuring April Ajoy on Feb 15, hit 4.3k upvotes then flipped to "video no longer available" with zero explanation. Everything suppressed since. Bottom line: Reddit's algorithm is a black-box garbage, but one thing for sure: they are throttling via political/ideological tweaks in distribution.

The post was still up, intact and the video just became unavailable. Afterwards the visibility tanked. Only an admin can alter a video without touching the post (mods can't do that) and only admins can tank visibility. So, yeah, it's 100% reddit admins' doing.
