I believe I have evidence to demonstrate that reddit seems to have tagged certain users as deplorables using google tag manager (gtm), and that this tagging reduces visibility and archivability of their posts on reddit through various means

Take for example this url

in archive.org , this url will be visible as its loading, and then it will conclude by hot-loading a blank white page.

And you can see on archive.is there are BIG BLACK jailbars over the content with O C, which is within an easily deleted tag using developer tools, but what regular user would know that?

I didn’t know what GTM / jail was so I googled it, and came up with another reddit post where someone else had discovered the same thing

Going deeper, I found a page of metadata that confirms it’s google tag manager
