Post Got Flagged


Hey guys,

My post got flagged after reaching the front page in <30m: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22686264

I didn't think it broke any guidelines but it would appear that it did.

Thoughts?

My hypothesis is that it got flagged as a function of the business I'm in (we help companies increase revenue in exchange for an ex-post fee) and the copy.

Thanks for your time.

Posts do not need to violate the guidelines to be community-flagged.

In this case, coronavirus thought pieces from non-experts have increasingly been treated with skepticism.
