Have a look here (make sure to enable dead posts in your account):

Almost all the posts from Dev.to and Hashnode are marked [dead], it's like 98%!

Maybe it's because users are promoting their blogs on those two platforms, but why Medium links are okay?

And the most frustrating thing, especially for new HN users, [dead] posts are not visible in HN but are for the user who submitted them, so the user thinks that his submission is visible on HN but it's not.

Am not going to give the mods orders but I think at least I have the right to know if my submission is marked [dead].

What do you guys think about that? Do you know any other links that gets marked [dead] automatically ?
