- de_watcher 8y agoThere are some "sensational" notes that are a bit meh for my taste. Maybe that's why people downvote.
- smcl 8y agoYou can't downvote a story though - or do you think people flagged it instead?
- shawn 8y agoA positive interpretation is that the original piece wasn’t very substantive, and tossing it off the front page was a way to make room for the more-substantive articles (which we’re now commenting on). A less positive interpretation is that voters have very little say over what goes on the front page — or more specifically, what stays.
- nkoren 8y agoMeanwhile, this BBC story about it got taken from #1 to #75 in 10 minutes: http://hnrankings.info/18013406/ http://hnrankings.info/18013406/ This isn't happening with other stories. The system is clearly being gamed.
