This happens to almost every post that’s somewhat negative about Tesla. They mysteriously disappear from the front page within minutes even after getting a lot of engagement.
I’m pretty sure some nefarious flagging is happening and I hope dang takes a look at it.
- nikcub 2y agoSame on twitter. My timeline is full of this story yet it isn't in trending.
- RIMR 2y agoAmazing that you think Elon Musk wouldn't actively be censoring news unfavorable to his companies. Doubly so that you think he's capable of shame.
- elcritch 2y agoHN’s ranking algorithm penalizes potential flamebait stories as I understand it. If you watch, you’ll see stories with more comments than points will quickly fall off the front page.
- BobaFloutist 2y agoNo, it's clearly a conspiracy to make Tesla look better on a niche forum. Enemy action is the only possibility.
- altairprime 2y agoNo need to hope; just email him! hn@ycombinator.com.
- thegrim33 2y agoI usually flag posts like these after a scan through the comments, as even though the article is tech related, the comments on this type of topic are usually uninsightful, 90% of the time just being typical political/social echo chamber warfare, an excuse for people to post low quality comments shitting on the persona non grata, in this case, Elon. These types of topics on HN usually accomplish nothing other than increasing the hate in the world. If the comments don't follow that pattern I don't flag. But they almost always do.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoMore like every EV/Tesla/Musk story is brigaded by anti-EV and anti-Musk crowd that impossible to see anything civil.
