Part 4/11:
A recent and notable controversy involves Mike Miller’s campaign for the Magnificent Seven comic. According to Miller, the campaign is being shadow banned—meaning it is still accessible but has lost visibility and discoverability on the platform. Miller reported that his campaign cannot be found via browser parameters or browsing categories; it does not appear in trending lists, recommended sections, or by search, effectively making it invisible to the typical user.
Miller expressed concern that approximately 20% of his previous crowdfunding support came from IndieGoGo, a critical source for his project’s success. Without the ability to promote his campaign organically on the site, his support base could diminish significantly, raising fears about censorship and platform bias.
