Hacker News does it too.
Narratives and echo chambers everywhere. Welcome to the future.
- moribondus 10y agoYes. You would expect that only sites like facebook would do that. It seriously discredits Paul Graham and Y-Combinator. After dealing with Hacker News, who would ever want to trade with anything Paul Graham is involved with?
- mrcold 10y agoLooks like people don't like it when you criticize their idols. People forget Paul Graham is in the business of making money. Ethics and morality are not a prerequisite. They actually start getting in the way once you reach a certain level of fame.

- dang 10y agoIf you're going to accuse us of doing something bad, please state clearly what "it" is and give specific links so we can look into what happened.
- bbcbasic 10y agoI'm guessing here but it could simply be that any moderated forum is effectively censored, HN included. In my experience almost all dead comments I've seen deserve to be dead. Down votes are more hit and miss I find it depends on the crowd that are attracted to that topic. E.g. Microsoft submits seem to be biased as pro Microsoft etc. That may be where the echo chamber effect comes in.
