Super strange when there are several on the front page, older, with less votes and less comments. To say it’s off topic is a little narrow minded given the current environment

You can watch these articles get user-flagged off the front page in real time by just refreshing. Lots of pro-administration brigading to censor this article (and similar ones).

Pleased email the mods when brigading is suspected; they have steps they can take in response, and explicitly ask us to do so when we suspect it’s occurring.

There's a cohort here who impulsively downvote anything critical of the prez or a couple other such subjects. A small group is able to spoil the ranking determined by a much larger number of people upvoting.

Flags are weighted much more heavily than upvotes. So as long as there's a flag-happy minority cohort around, they have their way.

Happens as well for the opposite takes.

Show me a highly upvoted one that was flagged out

I read dozens of HN threads per week. I'm not bookmarking this stuff. Believe it or not.

A16Z is deeply MAGA.

Make A16Z Great Again

I can't tell if you're implying some connection between this site and A16Z, but as far as I know there's no connection. Though pmarca used to post here years ago.

Many flag political/politically charged topics. The arguments which such topics often result in tend to overflow into other threads.

Fascinating how this got leaked. A TV station in Canada accidentally ran the original episode version, implying that this was pulled super late and the episode was completely in the can.
