Watching this get over 730 likes and 1100 comments and be pushed to the very bottom of the front page of HN. Hm.


It has been discussed by Dang before that threads with very high comment activity are punished by the algo as they're almost always flame wars.


Makes me wonder if the bot comments like this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30220886 was a ploy to strategically silence this story somehow (by using abusing the flame war disincentivizer feature).
