Another negative story about a YC company which has risen to the front page of HN and then seems to be getting a lot of pressure to get ranked down. It has more points and is fresher then a handful of other stories on the frontpage but ranks lower and is falling quickly. And when mentioned in the past, the reason often is the invisible anti-flamewar or similar features. What is it this time?

Elon needs to buy HN and open source the algorithm! /s

I'm pretty sure stories get naturally downranked (even if they have a lot of points) as the number of comments begins to approach the number of upvotes. I think the idea is "anything with more comments than upvotes is probably a flame war". It may not be the best way to rank stuff, but HN is explicitly not a democracy.
