Posts like this are why I wish there was a way to downvote stories. It doesn’t deserve to be flagged — it’s not spam or malicious or even misleading. It’s merely intellectually titillating garbage.
Just flag it. If HN doesn't put a downvote on stories, then it must be by design. If they don't like the concept of it being used as a downvote button, that's their problem, with an easy solution.
The reason for the trend of removing the downvote button/count it to let "enragement" content raise to the top, a trend HN should have known better than to take part in.
It's livescience... they're a spam site owned by British "publishing" house, Future. They also own TechRadar, PC Gamer, Tom's Guide, Tom's Hardware, Marie Claire, GamesRadar+, How it Works, Creative Bloq, CinemaBlend, Android Central, IT Pro, BikePerfect, Truly, Windows Central, Chat

I'm pretty sure it highjacked the back button and showed me a chumbox. I clicked it again and but it didn't happen again.
