I understand having critiques about the post, but stories about major AI companies fundraising seems on-topic.
- ShamelessC 3y agoUnclear. I think flagging is actually done after a threshold of users click flag? Which seems like not such a great system given stories with potential conflicts of interest between the user base and moderation. I recently saw a satirical post about vector databases get to top of HN and then drop to place 60 rapidly (no flagging in that instance). I am trying to maintain an assumption of good faith with regards to moderation but lack of explanation on suspicious actions when it comes to stories with clear conflicts of interest between YCombinator/investors and the hn community don’t inspire confidence.
