What are y'all talking about? I don't see a story with 700 upvotes. Can you link it?

    It's on page 4 or so, compared to the stories surrounding it based on votes / recency, it's definitely been muted

      Perhaps there is a time component to the sort algorithm? As of now its 13 hours old.

      It's because of the ratio of votes:comments. The higher the comments the lowest the score because the administration of a discussion site thinks users are not capable of having discussions.

      Remember that hacker news auto buries controversial posts, where “controversial” is defined as some ratio of comments to upvotes (I don’t remember the specific amount). Basically stories that have about as many comments as upvotes fall off the front page much quicker than a story with the same upvotes but fewer comments.
