That a thread that generate a small amount of reactions got trashed fast is perfectly normal. But I don’t understand why recent adversial discussions with a lot of comment can never sustain more than a few hour while some, pro bitcoin thread seems to last longer.
Again, it’s just a hunch, would be nice to review the log to see if I suffer cognitive bias or if my hunch is somewhat justified.
I would be delighted by a « Show HN » that prove how wrong I am.
PS : Sorry i didn’t get HN internal right (no downvote). So maybe studying if there is a bias toward more flagging of counterpoint on bitcoin would me more appropriate.
- paulgb 9y agoMy bias is not pro-bitcoin, but I personally haven't noticed pro-bitcoin posts lasting longer than anti-bitcoin posts, I think it has more to do with whether they have substance. Price events are newsworthy, but just like political events, newsworthiness doesn't they fit the scope of HN. (I'm not the one down-voting you by the way)
