Yes. Too large a comment/vote ratio causes articles to be defrontpaged, as well as some domains. Moderators do a lot of manipulation behind the scenes to keep what they deem ‘hot-button topics’ down in 3rd page or shadow-banned altogether. Then there’s the user flagging system that is abused whenever some popular article goes against the grain. That’s why I use https://news.ycombinator.com/active to find the interesting topics instead of having to rely on the strict moderation algorithm |
