alt Hacker Newswhy is the only comment by the OP flagged and dead? Is it because they were supposed to include that data in the description text rather than a comment, was it flagged as AI generated, or..?
Trying to understand why the poster's own comment was flagged and killed but the original article remains up.

I'm not sure either. The comments don't look wrong to me.
You can vouch for it, if you view the comment by clicking the time since posted a “vouch” option appears. I did it. I’ve noticed this happening more and more on here for show HN posts especially. I’m not sure if it’s like some sort of troll gang or what…
AI-edited or -generated comments are disallowed by HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html#generated. I don't think any such restriction exists for submissions themselves, so that's my guess as to why the comment but not the submission has been flagged to death.
