Any idea how posts like this bypass HN's spam filters and make it to the front page with hardly any votes or comments?

  By not being spam, people finding them interesting, and being randomly posted at a time where other things don't get votes quicker.

    It's one of few bugs in HN's algorithm. I have numerous examples of these.

      It’s not a bug it’s stated policy that items can be reposted even in rather quick succession.

        That's not the bug I was referring to.
