- the_mitsuhiko 3y agoThe post was on the front page for a while before it was removed.
- yorwba 3y agohttps://hnrankings.info/38001924/ https://hnrankings.info/38001924/ has it on the front page only for one sample and it dropped off to rank 36 five minutes later.
- xeromal 3y agoAnecdata but I saw it on the front page for a while. I thought this post was just following in that one's footsteps.
- the_mitsuhiko 3y agoSince the moderation log is hidden I can only guess what happened. But last year we got the confirmation of the removal via email and the explanation was that the post wasn't "that interesting". https://twitter.com/chadwhitacre_/status/1716947994338021885 https://twitter.com/chadwhitacre_/status/1716947994338021885 I expected this again and thus kept monitoring the index page actively. The post stayed on there for quite a while and suddenly dropped off to the second page and then a while later completely.
- radicalbyte 3y agoCrazy I missed that. That certainly damages the trust I have in this site - it already benefits YC to have this community, they don't need to play favorites. It feels like we're being treated as a sales funnel when they pull tricks like that.
