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.
