Why is it against HN rules to say the following:

>Apple is no longer selling veblen goods, I need to short their stock

>All this fuss about a multi-day old computer seems like marketing inorganic/astroturfing/reputation management company.

>Apple ownership is a walled prison

>You could get a laptop with an Nvidia GPU, 16gb ram, 512 ssd... or a 'cheap' Macbook.

>Why are these getting flagged? Is HN bought?

Now, I can see a few of these getting flagged, you arent allowed to call out astroturfing. HN needs to make money somehow. But some of these are weird.

Because new user, ostensibly bad faith, throwing short cliched statements with no clear intent to start a meaningful discussion.

Seemingly effortless comments yelling to the void not worth starting a conversation with. Not the kind of comments that belongs or are wanted in this platform.

I flag uninteresting comments, such as yours.

Moderation here sucks and doesn't really work well imho.
