You can watch these articles get user-flagged off the front page in real time by just refreshing. Lots of pro-administration brigading to censor this article (and similar ones).
Pleased email the mods when brigading is suspected; they have steps they can take in response, and explicitly ask us to do so when we suspect it’s occurring.
Super strange when there are several on the front page, older, with less votes and less comments. To say it’s off topic is a little narrow minded given the current environment
There's a cohort here who impulsively downvote anything critical of the prez or a couple other such subjects. A small group is able to spoil the ranking determined by a much larger number of people upvoting.
Flags are weighted much more heavily than upvotes. So as long as there's a flag-happy minority cohort around, they have their way.
Fascinating how this got leaked. A TV station in Canada accidentally ran the original episode version, implying that this was pulled super late and the episode was completely in the can.

A16Z is deeply MAGA.
Make A16Z Great Again
Many flag political/politically charged topics. The arguments which such topics often result in tend to overflow into other threads.

Happens as well for the opposite takes.
