The shadow banning of NFTs appears just a few days after a recent study suggested that 95% of NFT collections are worthless.<\/p>\n<h2>OpenSea Starts Shadow-Banning Less Interactive NFTs<\/h2>\n<p>In an October 03 blog post, Benie, a renowned crypto user and NFT influencer, shared that it appears an NFT collection, &ldquo;CryptoReaper,&rdquo; is now shadow-banned on the OpenSea NFT market platform. In this article, we shall dig in-depth to discover what is happening.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OpenSea shadowbanning collections that don&rsquo;t fit its narrative.

Since its inception, the NFT collection has made 134 sales, amassing a trading sales volume of 2.335 ETH or just $3,887.<\/p>\n<p>CryptoReaper&rsquo;s relatively lower sales and lack of interactiveness have made the OpenSea NFT market platform think they aren&rsquo;t commercial enough. Meanwhile, big NFT projects and connected Wagmi individuals or artists continue getting instant verified status with a slick home page feature.<\/p>\n<h2>OpenSea Keeps On Suffering Bad Reputation<\/h2>\n<p>OpenSea NFT marketplace&rsquo;s bearish move has made it suffer yet another bad reputation, with many crypto community members citing that I would embrace empowering creators rather than dumping them. Expressing his disgruntlement, Bennie remarked:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&ldquo;This is typically smaller indie artists that it thinks aren&rsquo;t commercial enough.
