This article was posted 3 times in 3 days and only today is taking off! What is going on? As I tried to posted it 2 days ago and I was redirected to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21923103 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21923103 posted by mattydread and at that time it was [DEAD]. I started wondering why. I vouched to resurrect it and somebody else must have done it too but eventually it only got to 5 points. I even thought for a moment that Google have bots to kill undesired articles on Hacker News but I thought I was reading too much into it. When I noticed that this was a different post, I run a search on Algolia ( check https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=google%20veterans&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu... ) and apparently yesterday it was posted again by raiyu ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21932616 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21932616 ) and it only collected 2 points. Today it was posted for the 3rd time and it is finally taking off... How did it ended up [DEAD] 2 days ago ? Is it common that an article is posted for 3 days in a row and it is [DEAD]?
