Well... contentious stories get removed from here, too. This is a topic that gets contentious.

- Causality1 6y agoOh yeah. Every time someone posts an article covering that GPT HN fiasco it gets flagged and removed almost immediately.
- strombofulous 6y agoThe what?
- andrew_v4 6y agoI had to look it up too, I had forgotten about it as it was not very interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24164470 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24164470 Note that the link is to an article on HN, not flagged, and the comments pretty clearly debunk the article's claims. TLDR, author wrote some clickbait headlines and used gpt3 to fill in the articles, with an unspecified amount of editing, then some of them got onto the front page of HN and he wrote an article about that.
- edoceo 6y agowhat's that one about?
- 1cvmask 6y agoMany stories get flagged on HN as well and I assume for different reasons. Here is one flagged from an hour ago: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/journalists-learning-they-spread https://greenwald.substack.com/p/journalists-learning-they-s... I assumed it was worthy of discussion given the whole censorship debate and concepts of censorship like AI moderation or misinformation or disinformation.
- cryptonector 6y agoThis one is flagged, for example.
- akvadrako 6y agoSuch as? I assume you don't mean flagging, since those are not removed, just frozen.
- seattledev 6y agoThere are occasions when submissions are entirely removed and don't even retain the title or URL. I know this because I use hckrnews.com as my HN front page
- akvadrako 6y agoYes, I do too. But can you give an example of something that was removed which wasn't garbage?
