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.
