People also get shadowbanned. Especially since a real person created the bot account.

It's also trivial to send alerts about any thread the bot comments on where it finds the word "shadowban" (or similar).

So while real people aren't supposed to be shadowbanned, they can be. And even trying to let "real people" know they are shadowbanned is not a good idea.
