What has he done? Everyone’s commenting he doesn’t like HN but when I clicked the link everything looks fine. Serious question.

You must be using Brave or a browser plugin which doesn't send referral headers. If you use a normal browser, it displays a testicle in an egg cup with a silly phrase complaining about the demographic of HN users.

  • I open everything for which I don't need to be logged in, in an incognito window, and this page worked fine.

    • An incognito window doesn't quite count as "if you use a normal browser". Unless your not using incognito is the unusual case for you, which it isn't for most users.

      Given a choice between changing my browsing behaviour to see his content or just blocking it so it (the testicle redirect or the other content) will never both my vision again, I go for the latter option.
