    Isn’t adjusting weights of what’s being shown effectively the same as boosting?

      I’m not really interested in any debate around semantics, to me the answer is no, applying a -1 to entry a is not the same as a +1 to entry z, but its also completely irrelevant to the question.

      Again, what metric would you suggest to use to demonstrate this?

        I agree. This is about censorship, and it’s misguided to think ‘they only care because of views/likes/upvotes’.

          Have you considered that it’s not censorship and just that regular people are not interested in it, and that there are vastly different people on different platforms.
