Meta: why is that post's text gray and hard to read? This is how HN punishes low-voted comments, right? Yet it seems counterproductive to do so for submissions.

- salawat 5y agoThat's just the formatting for this type of article. It isn't connected to any type of upvote or downvote in this case. You are correct in that downvoted pists are made harder to read, and eventually end up dead or invisible. In fact, those posts can be forced to render by activating show_dead in your profile if you're feeling adventurous.
