Are We Being Censored?

Question

The link https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35765373 which is an important article about the AI discussion went missing from the front or second page soon after it started gathering lots of upvotes. Can you find it there? AFAIK there is no personalized feed and there are links with less upvotes in more time (its how ranking works but not this time).Is the connection between HN and OpenAI somehow relevant here?

No, it is just the 5,953 time that same discussion has happened so it was kicked off the front page, keeps the site from going stagnant and devolving into having the same threads over and over.

It's currently at position 166.Items can move down in the ranking (sometimes confusingly quickly) if people flag the submission, or if the discussion becomes very heated (with a lot of downvotes). It's possible that either of those happened here.
