I didn't realize until you had posted that a large fraction of the upvotes were probably because my post had a dismissive tone. And I was feeling good about the upvotes until you pointed that out D:

:D

But now I'm confused. How did your comment go from being #1 for many hours, and then drop to #31, behind a bunch of nothing-special comments? Did you suddenly get a bunch of down-votes? Did the YC team come in and penalize your comment to make this forum have better optics? Also, there were 101 sub-comments to yours, and now there are 86. Smells fishy.
