People flag articles on HN all the time, especially if they’re critical of FAANG. I wouldn’t read anything into it.
Found the flagging odd but I was mostly just pointing out that this is a duplicate story.
I can see what you mean.
dcurtis had said in the comments on the other submission that he would write up the details, so I guess this is more like a follow-up than a dupe.
I notice good threads get buried from the front page all the time from what seems like a single flag
Someone needs to start hnflagged.com and preserve the threads there because I swear it's where 80% of the interesting conversations are.
try using https://hckrnews.com/ - it's a hacker news feed sorted by time that shows all posts, flagged, dead or otherwise.
Ironically, my post about starting a discussion on how to address this (signal quality vs signal agreement) was, itself, flagged.
Frustrating, yes, but I had to appreciate the recursion.
On mobile I will scroll and accidentally flag things. It’s quite accident prone.
It was flagged because Apple can do no wrong in the eyes of most of the crowd here. Had it been Google, Facebook or anyone else in their place the story would be a #1 trend here and on Twitter, Reddit etc.
Ironic that this very comment is already getting flagged and downvoted just for stating this.
