- marcusverus 4y agoIt was flagged because it's hyperbolic flamebait-- a perfect example of the sort of low-effort comment that is discouraged on HN.

Whether or not HN commenters owe superbillionaires better, they definitely owe this community better if they're participating in it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- ShamelessC 4y agoFair enough! I'll dig through these later, although I'm guessing it is the inflammatory nature of the comment tht led others to flag it. If only people flagged this sort of thing consistently. So it goes.
