This is off topic for HN. Have you read the site guidelines recently?

"Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon."

Yet the story about the NBA executive stealing money fails all three strikes and it's at 120 points and going strong...

I don't know if it's a new phenomenon but there's enough interesting detail in that story to make it on topic for HN, in my opinion, plus the thread quality supports that interpretation. Of course these are all judgment calls.

Prince Andrew on Epstein is guaranteed to produce a flamewar, especially because it overlaps with the celebrity gossip genre.

Epstein stories have been discussed in detail on HN (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...), and "royal denies wrongdoing" is not significant new information: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

You have 100% bias here.

This video pretty is interesting. It reached 700k views in youtube in very short time. It is also very unique. Maybe it is not interesting to a fan of Epstein. The interview has elements that no interview until now has. Ex watch btw 19-25:00. They are way less non interesting links about Epstein that you didnt flag.

2) Also u block this video way faster than you can watch the whole interview. Did you watch the full interview before flag this link? Without watching the whole interview how you can decide it is not good enough.

Just leave it to the hn community . unflag the video lets see how community responds...

If YouTube views mattered here, Pewdiepie would be on the front page. Please read the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Daniel,and yet this interview is the new evidence. And this interview has more interesting parts than many articles that were posted in HN about this subject.

“Interesting new phenomenon”, not “new evidence [in a mainstream news story about a celebrity scandal]”. They’re very different concepts.

Dang isn’t saying it’s not a big/important story; it’s just not on-topic for HN. The guidelines are clear and long-established on that.

There’s the whole rest of the internet for discussing mainstream news scandals.

3) you also have a habit & pattern of limiting my posting in a short time after u uplift my limit after i submit any controversial topic which is less than 1 of 10 of my postings.

There are many articles about this topic. This interview is very well done, substantive, intellectually interesting articles.

How did you decide it is not?

Looks like the leaked ABC video was flag-killed as well. Sure looks like the same forces that are suppressing this story in the mainstream media are doing the same thing right here on HN.

You can't be serious. This is bog standard HN moderation.

A major BBC story that's been picked up widely being "supressed in the mainstream media" is an odd claim.

The BBC story is about ABC news suppressing the story. Does ABC news not qualify as mainstream media?

The submitted video is about ABC news? Or about prince Andrew's involvement with Epstein?

This specific interview has been widely covered in mainstream media.

The Duke of York speaks to Emily Maitlis about his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the allegations against him. Subscribe to our channel here: https://goo.gl/31Q53F

In a world exclusive interview, Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis speaks to Prince Andrew, the Duke of York at Buckingham Palace.

For the first time, the Duke addresses in his own words the details of his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who took his own life while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.

In 2015, Prince Andrew was named in court papers as part of a US civil case against Epstein.

The Prince, who is the Queen’s third child, also answers questions about the allegations made against him by one of Epstein’s victims, and discusses the impact of the scandal on the Royal family and his work.
