Ask HN: Why was this submission flagged?

Link to submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23728390 I noticed a bunch of "too many files open" errors in my logs - turns I missed one of the nine places you can configure that setting on Linux/systemd nowadays. So I'm wondering if it's because the site appeared to be down/struggling, or because the consensus was that it was "clickbait", or another reason entirely?
