Mike Thurston - Q&A - Thoughts On Andrew Tate, ...
Shadowbanning might not exist. It is first of all no official term. Than you have to understand the market and technical situation. So, there is only one YouTube and one Instagram, but many content provider and marketing companies that manage such.
In general they are supposed to pay in form of adverts to promote their content creators receiving a share on their revenue and aquiring sponsoring contracts.
In fact, like theft in the music industry, they will try every possible short cut to manipulate the algorithm and system and the content platform will try to fight that.
It needs only a script to create an account and no real human. That would be a bot, like robot, and those can also watch content this way pushing up subscribers and views. It can be difficult to find these, if they are based on a network of computers using different internet access points created by hackers that sell their services. That would be a bot network of hijacked computers. Imagine how much a needy content marketig company would pay, if a hacker crew can offer e.g. a bot network of hijacked computers of a major office company. They managed to hijack all computers of an departement of a big international company and the employees are listening to online music anyway.
I am trying to say that the content provider won't be able to tell, because of the advert revenue stream being under joepardy. Nobody want's to pay for ads watched by a bot. The hijacked company will keep it a secret even so no other intel was stolen for as obvious reasons, but finding such a bot network and shutting it down might look exactly like you being cut down on accounts. This is a hypotheses.
