- reitanqild 10y agoDidn't downvote but still disagree a lot. Flagging off otherwise interesting articles is seriously annoying IMO. I'd say commenting or upvote if there is already a comment (and maybe emailing if necessary) is the solution.

- dang 10y agoTrue, but the site guidelines also say "If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- Pyxl101 10y agoSorry. I commented to explain the reason for the flag. I wasn't sure it was obvious.
