> It has considerably a lot of comments and upvotes

As of this comment it has 100 upvotes and 400 comments.

That alone, regardless of subject matter and guidelines keeps it from the front page as the placement algorithm favours posts with more upvotes than comments.

Threads that attract many many comments but relatively few upvotes in comparison are weighted down.
