Every one of these posts confirm that I made the right decision to leave Reddit and join Voat. When I created my account yesterday I thought I'd continue using Reddit and Voat together. However with each of these posts that seems less and less likely.
Honestly, part of it may just be people getting pissed off about the spammy type of replies of people going "HURR DURR MONSTANTO". I'm not saying that it's good, I'm just saying that reddit probably hasn't made a profit off Monsanto yet enough to do these bannings. I've talked about Monsanto on other subs as well, and it's never been an issue.
Never attribute to malice what could be explained by stupidity (or mods/admins getting sick of spamminess)
What bothers me about this is it was a shadowban, not a ban from the subreddit. If the mods had banned him for "spamming" or "derailing the conversation", it would be evidence of stupid modding. Since it is a shadowban, it seems as though reddit is silencing certain anti-corp. comments in the default subs.
Reddit doesn't have to receive "profits" to censor. Reddit is fully regulated by shills, gov rogues and lobbyists. In order for a post to be deleted, it does not have to come from the top at Reddit Corp. It can simply be a rogue mod (paid by monsanto, not affiliated with reddit) pushing an agenda.
There is a "soft shadowban" that moderators can use with automoderator, which is now a built-in feature of reddit. It does not shadowban the user site-wide, just from the subreddit where it was activated.

A rogue mod can't shadow ban. That would have to come from a Admin
