It seems a few people use the kick-starting strategy.
I've seen articles get a bunch of points right after being submitted and making their way to the frontpage, while my submissions of the same content that have been made a bit earlier never got any upvotes whatsoever.
Personally, I haven't done it and don't intend to. On the other hand, I'm guilty of checking the newest articles only after I submitted something myself.
- Scriptor 17y agoI once alluded to something on IRC that I'd submitted here. Granted, I didn't directly link to anything and they found it themselves, it still felt like cheating a little. Either way, the post only started to get a significant number of points after the first couple of outside votes brought it somewhere in the frontpage.
