I don't know if that assessment is true. I don't have a network. If I submit something to PH and someone with a network upvotes it, their network is now more likely to see it. So if you create something cool, that a few people with networks discover on the upcoming feed, you're chances to reach even more people and get the foot in the door (and land on the frontpage) are higher now, with this new front page algorithm, no?
- minimaxir 11y agoGranted, if you don't have a network, your submission is stuck in the "upcoming" purgatory, so that issue already blocks the probability of a serendipitous upvote.
- solveforall 11y agoNow you can't submit something unless you're invited to the network and PH approves. Anybody want to help me out with an invitation?
