  "Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon." Yet the story about the NBA executive stealing money fails all three strikes and it's at 120 points and going strong...

    I don't know if it's a new phenomenon but there's enough interesting detail in that story to make it on topic for HN, in my opinion, plus the thread quality supports that interpretation. Of course these are all judgment calls. Prince Andrew on Epstein is guaranteed to produce a flamewar, especially because it overlaps with the celebrity gossip genre. Epstein stories have been discussed in detail on HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=epstein%20points%3E10&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and "royal denies wrongdoing" is not significant new information: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=%22significant%20new%20information%22&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

      You have 100% bias here. This video pretty is interesting. It reached 700k views in youtube in very short time. It is also very unique. Maybe it is not interesting to a fan of Epstein. The interview has elements that no interview until now has. Ex watch btw 19-25:00. They are way less non interesting links about Epstein that you didnt flag. 2) Also u block this video way faster than you can watch the whole interview. Did you watch the full interview before flag this link? Without watching the whole interview how you can decide it is not good enough. Just leave it to the hn community . unflag the video lets see how community responds...

        Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic. Daniel,and yet this interview is the new evidence. And this interview has more interesting parts than many articles that were posted in HN about this subject.

  There are many articles about this topic. This interview is very well done, substantive, intellectually interesting articles. How did you decide it is not?

    Looks like the leaked ABC video was flag-killed as well. Sure looks like the same forces that are suppressing this story in the mainstream media are doing the same thing right here on HN.

      A major BBC story that's been picked up widely being "supressed in the mainstream media" is an odd claim.

        The BBC story is about ABC news suppressing the story. Does ABC news not qualify as mainstream media?
        detaro 7y ago
        The submitted video is about ABC news? Or about prince Andrew's involvement with Epstein? This specific interview has been widely covered in mainstream media.

      You can't be serious. This is bog standard HN moderation.
