the most recent one is, "The cost of reopening the economy, in lives", then there is a bunch of stuff that is not relevant and just happens to have the word "economy" in it, in the topic "Covid-19: Impact on business sectors and the economy" there is very little discussion about the economy, people muse about virsuses instead. The only recent other one that doesn't flat out have 0 comments is "Stocks Are Recovering While the Economy Collapses". Great. I can see why any comment of a person asking to discuss this should be met with so many downvotes they'll get throttled, while everybody else demonstrates their ongoing inability to discuss it, pointing at non-discussions as proof it's been discussed so extensively. 9 days ago, "71 Percent of jobless Americans did not recieve their March unemployment benefit" received 24 comments. Twentyfour! Oh well, I guess the meat is in all those "guerilla subthreads" then.

Could you please stop breaking guidelines by commenting on downvotes? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Three things: 1. What you find interesting might not interest others; if you want to force a discussion on someone, call a hotline; 2. The comment wouldn’t have been heavily downvoted if it weren’t written in this “I’m woke and you sheeple aren’t” tone. (I didn’t even downvote that one for the record.) 3. Vote swings are a thing. Also, just for your info, “so many downvotes...” a comment can be downvoted five times before it’s dead, so any non-dead comment hasn’t attracted a lot of downvotes. “They’ll get throttled” that’s nonsense, throttling is based on thread depth and comment frequency, not votes.

  > Could you please stop breaking guidelines by commenting on downvotes? "When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names." Downvoting without argument is the equivalent of calling names, so the answer is no. > if you want to force a discussion on someone, call a hotline; Who wants to "force a discussion"? Why do people who don't want to discuss something get to punish those who do? And how is what I quoted not blatant violation of the guidelines? > The comment wouldn’t have been heavily downvoted if it weren’t written in this “I’m woke and you sheeple aren’t” tone. The tone is in your reading. Also, you don't know why people downvote, you're simply claiming it. So after you say I shouldn't "break the guidelines by talking about downvotes", you then proceed to talk about downvotes, while claiming things you have no basis for, something I didn't do nor would do, because I don't need to.
