Previous discussion from earlier today (submission got flagged, eventually): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12682944.

And of course this thread got flagged as [dup] too. Of course HN doesn't want people to read anything that would go against HN. Why would they? They're not biased, they're not a platform for open communication. They're not just "first and foremost a business". They're just a business, plain and simple.

Don't jump to conclusions. My guess is that people think that a random rant full of expletives may not be worthy enough to stay on the front page, so they flag it down. I understand that, even though I personally had a lot of fun reading the article.

There's plenty occasions in here to bash startups, the startup culture, and even HN's role in it almost every day. HN is definitely not against startup criticism and meta-discussions. It's just against poor-quality ones.
