Tons of articles get flagged every day. I remember a bot on FB regularly sampling popular articles. Some of the most popular ones on FB end up leading to flagged articles. But back then, many flagged articles were around COVID. Some were sensational, some were not, but if it triggers strong discomfort, it gets flagged. There was a quality article on advice by a female founder that was highly flagged too. Likely because it sounded sensationalist. Sometimes the system fails. Most social media rewards unpopular opinions and hot takes, but HN is the opposite, the algorithm buries those.
