Antonio Brown celebrates all the time, so is he having some mysterious negative effect on the Stoolers? Of course not. Heck, the Steelers rub first downs in opponent's faces, probably as an intimidation thing.
That said, if Hill not dancing somehow means he's on a mission to redeem himself (which is how I took it), then I'm all for it. I have absolutely zilch against celebrating though.
Many great players from Rodgers to Watt to Brown celebrate everything from first downs to TDs. Fwiw, I loved when Hill did the shuffle. It showed appreciation for the fans and our history. Contrary to what many fans probably think, most of these young players have no knowledge of team history.
Does throwing a turd into the sewers have some mysterious negative effect? No, because it's surrounded by it's brethren.
Same thing with throwing a Dbag into the Steelers. They're already Steelers, how much worse could they actually get?

That said, I don't mind Hill celebrating as long as he keeps it in relative moderation. Admittedly less happy with the celebrations if you're having a terrible season like he was in 2015.
Celebration aside, he does take the attitude a bit too far sometimes...
-Don't forget about the game where the Browns beat the Bengals 24-3 and Hill's response after on if they were better than he thought was: "Oh no, not at all. They're probably worse than I thought, to be honest with you."
-Or when he did the celebration dance right in front of the Steelers player in the playoffs and almost certainly should have been flagged for it. Then doesn't hold onto the ball with two hands.
So yeah, overall don't mind some celebrating, but don't go over the top, and stay mature.
