It’s important not to imply the post’s removal wasn’t a matter of editorial judgement, since it was, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I have no issue with people making editorial judgements provided they are upfront about it. On the face of it, EY is saying he removed the post purely on the basis of popularity, as though he is deferring judgement to others. You assert he wasn’t and that no-one would be misled but if you just leave things implied there is a lot of scope for misunderstanding and it is a way of not taking responsibility.
