I'd wager that if you, the author, or other people who commented in this thread could've shown evidence of an actual candy shortage this year, this wouldn't have been flagged.

How might such a wager be settled in this stream of reality? It can't entirely, but we could look for patterns in historically flagged and killed posts. Is there a link where we can see what ideas are not suitable for individual consideration by HN subscribers? Such a list would be interesting, as would the lack of existence of such a list.

    That's a very cool site, thanks! Although, does it differentiate between articles that fell off organically versus memory holing or other reasons? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hole https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_hole

      It doesn't attempt to determine the cause of a site leaving the front page.
