I mean it would be nice to know if anything I was subscribed to was banned. Denying us that is irritating at best.


Theoretically, I can see why that would be distressing as an end-user, but wearing my platform operator hat^, I can't think of any way to implement that doesn't result in either driving traffic to competing platforms, assisting rulebreakers in their inevitable quest to rouse a pitchfork mob against their own platform, and/or is interpreted to be saying that users are bad for having subscribed to banned content.

^ I do not operate any public platforms.
