To put the later comments into context ... The deleted comment was someone saying that "Everyone knows" that this is a flagrant attempt to get twitter followers, that it's spam, and they'd flagged it. Having down-voted and flagged, they then discover that they were wrong, and instead of apologising and retracting the comment, they simply deleted it, leaving, of course, the down-votes.
