This story got kicked out of front page quite suddenly, not sure how/why. Lots of points and comments.

Yeah, would be interested to know why exactly

EDIT: Ok probably because it basically is a repost. I just haven't seen it 6 days ago.

  • Lots of second posts stick around for a long time.

    I have seen that if a company is called out by name, in an inflammatory manner, the posts tend to drop out quickly. Sometimes, they come back.

    Conspiracy theorists say that only happens with YC-backed companies, but that may be selection bias. I have seen stories that call out a number of companies, disappear quickly.

    It's hard to say if that's OK or not. I think some of these stories are really nothing more than "hit pieces," but some of them are really on the money.
