> Why is this post being shadowbanned?

If it were shadowbanned we wouldn't be able to comment on it. People have flagged it, it triggered the flamewar detector, or both. That's why it got downranked.

If you think the topic of his death has been "shadowbanned" (for some non-standard definition of shadowbanned), check the front page. There's another discussion there about it.

Shadowban is not the same as a traditional ban. It is a selective ban.

This topic is not on the front page for me, yet it was on the front page for you.

That is shadowban.

I suspect you didn't actually look and just wanted to make something up to complain about. Which is a strange thing to do, but there are stranger things people do on this site. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46603431 - The link in case you want to keep avoiding the front page.

Youtube links always have gotten downweighting. Enough votes can overcome it, but there are a few domains that HN penalizes.

    Scott deserves respect

I think you'll find a large amount of disagreement there for such a controversial person.

		And here we find a far larger amount of people agreeing that he should be respected.

Respect has to be earned.
