I think this post itself is a great example. At the moment, there's a post about vaccines above this post. It has had very little discussions, isn't really about "hacking".
Literally the first comment is complaining how it's lacking:

In the OP's link, the vaccine article appears above this post by a wide margin. It shouldn't.
- mmt 8y ago> It has had very little discussions, That can be viewed as a very good thing, considering the word "vaccine" can be a lightning-rod fod flamewars, even on HN. > isn't really about "hacking" It's about science and how it's funded, which is routinely a topic of interest here, and is well within the guidelines: "That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." > In the OP's link, the vaccine article appears above this post by a wide margin. It shouldn't. Ah, but I disagree. The discussion in this thread is very "meta" and could easily be characterized as annoying, even though I don't (yet) personally find it to be.
