122 points 2 hours ago yet this is currently #38 and not on the front page.

Strange. At the same time I see numerous items that are on the front page posted 2 hours or older with fewer points.

I'm willing to take a reputation hit on this meta post. I wonder why this got demoted so quickly from front page despite people clearly voting on it. I wonder if it has anything to do with being backed by YC.

I sincerely hope it's just my miss understanding of hn algorithm though

Can confirm it doesn't. Many Ollama posts get pushed off the front page too despite having hundreds of points. Over time I understood. If they did this for YC companies, it would ruin the trust of HN, YC, and probably the most important to YC companies, the reputation of the startup itself.
I assume this is what happens when many HN users just flag every AI- and LLM-related post out of sheer frustration with the reality distortion field around this particular topic.
