I'm just going to make it a policy to flag pointless posts like this. They add nothing to the discussion here. This is not "content" by any reasonable definitio

  I thought it was great content. Peter Thiel's explanation on whether China can copy and survive for long time was great explanation and a valid point for any developing economy.

  That is a sure way to lose your flagging privileges. Assuming we're talking about the same video, it's plain as day that this is relevant content for HN. You may not like it; that's not an acceptable reason to flag it. Flagging is for stories that don't belong on HN in the first place. I'll give you that the title "The Secret of Unicorns" was asinine, but that's just the usual linkbait and fixing it just the usual moderation.

    No, it's my opinion that it doesn't add any intellectual content of any kind. You can disagree, of course, but flagging is supposed to be for that purpose, just as you say. You think your opinion is plain as day, but others disagree and very few upvoted this. Yes, the title is what set me off initially, but you seriously need to put effort into ensuring the discourse here does not degrade into a spiral of fluff. Just read the other comments in the thread. I wasn't alone.
