In the fictional "Mythic Quest" TV series it's exactly what happened a group of white supremacists that were rampaging in the game : they were dealt with by putting them in their own virtual world, away from everyone else.
I suspect Twitter does something like this to s-workers. I say that, because I have friends who are full time in the industry, and they use Twitter to promote their content. They've all reported that sometimes they see (what appear to be) random, downward trends in their Twitter engagement numbers.
This is what I have always thought. The algorithm is the problem, if there was no amplification then things would be a lot easier for the companies and saner in the world.
