  > The discussion of this topic five days ago received 128 points and 174 comments Interesting. My understanding was that HN yanks a thread off the front page as soon as it has more comments than upvotes, because that's their indicator of being "controversial". Which never made sense to me, because I leave hundreds of times more comments than article upvotes.

I have read that a lot of times but this doesn't seem to be the case, I can remember multiple times when I clicked on something on the front page and it had more comments than upvotes. This is currently on the front page with 245 points and 274 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42441502 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42441502
