Did not read the article, but I would say about 40%. Btw, you can toggle [showdead] in profile settings, then you'll see messages caught by moderators, which are sophisticated bots (writing style at ChatGPT3 level) + absolutely valid points that lash out on ruling class, SV mentality, US and Israel.
> you'll see messages caught by moderators
Much of these are caught by users downvoting and/or flagging. I think the lack of a public moderation log makes people think the mods are constantly running around every story/comment to steer the site when really it's the users doing most of the grunt work while the moderators only step in occasionally for the more serious items.
Did read the article, you'd be correct... for a few months ago. Now it's apparently up to 60%.
a lot is also not caught.. and over time itll be less and less. hn has been great for a very long time, but this time has come to an end
