Ask HN: To my surprise, a popular submission killed ...

#1
I'd be interested in any insights as to why this poll got killed:

It seemed to be of relevance to hacker culture, and judging by the number of votes, I wasn't the only one to think so.

Yet clearly there were enough people who found it inappropriate to flag it and get it killed. I'd be interested in learning more about why.

Thanks.

Your post did not contain any of the following technologically relevant keywords:

{Google, Gmail, Apple, Github, Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg, Android, iPhone, Techcrunch, awesome, innovative, AB-test, execute, idea, stuck in the past, iterate}

Your post did not contain any of the following historically/politically relevant keywords:

{Marx, Ayn Rand, taxes, welfare, government, constitution}

Seriously, I think the people who flagged this thought anime is irrelevant to "business^H^H^H^H hacker culture". Which leaves the question why all of the above is apparently relevant to "hackers".
