Pretty revealing that a HN post can make to the front page with a broken link.

The original link works (for me), it just directs me through a captcha first. That's not a broken link by the usual meaning of the phrase, it doesn't mean people weren't reading the post...

[knorker]

Directed me to a captcha too. It's just that the captcha didn't work and "please try again".

[Havoc]

Yeah broken here too

Are you implying people don't read the body of the article or that there's bot interference? (I can imagine either could be true.)

[hammock]

The former. I for one happily upvote a submission before reading it, to keep it on the front page which is so fragilely ephemeral for new submissions, so I can read the article and then come back to (hopefully) some good comments from others in the thread.

Only if you haven’t been paying attention to how upvoting rings control HN, against all the behind the scenes work to thwart them.

[fragmede]

Or is it intentionally broken, as a ploy to hurt Bloomberg's bot detection algorithm.

[lalaland1125]

Nope, just a dumb accident. I think Bloomberg redirected me right before I copied the URL from the address bar ...

Is there any way to easily fix the link?
