You've explained this much more clearly than I've seen done before. Maybe because I hear my voice in yours.
Skip the web dev and be a writer. Surely other HNers can hire patientplatypus for this?

I do wish this person well however, I hope luck smiles down on them soon.
This comment will go the way of the dodo soon enough .!.. :-)
"The real issue here that people don't seem to want to face is the WHY."
They provided an answer to "why?". I think thats fair. Maybe I am wrong. I checked further on the comment history, it appears to me someone has it out for this person, as the other topics are not soapboxing at all, and most or dead without comments.
Care to discuss further?
As for the shadowbanning I’m not sure either. It’s not particularly new and like you kinda mentioned they don’t really say anything egregious, at least that I saw. Some accounts seems to be shadow banned at creations and the user doesn’t seem super active, but I’m not sure how all that works under the hood. I guess it’s even possible the GP comment was already dead, and was later vouched.
GP mentioned that it's expected he'd be addicted to drugs because then the system would be able to categorize and address his needs better.
It's not a 1:1 match for the article topic, but I come to HN for the comments, especially ones that engage my curiosity, like GP's did.
