downranked
Pushed lower systematically
Downranked describes content that has been pushed lower in search results or social media feeds by an algorithm.
Platforms downrank posts for various reasons—low engagement, policy violations, or perceived low quality.
The term emerged from discussions about how tech companies quietly suppress content without removing it entirely: My videos got downranked after the algorithm change.
