I am actually curious. Did everyone who upvoted the title post not click on the link at all?

- RyJones 10y agoclearly, no.
- cpeterso 10y agoHN's scoring algorithm should ignore or discount upvotes if the user did not click on the article link before voting. For extra credit, HN could also watch for page visibility changes that would indicate that the user, in addition to opening the article, also switched to that the article tab. :)
- a3n 10y agoI sometimes read an article at work or home, and then later read the comments and upvote later at home or work. Don't assume that everyone operates the machine the same way you do, nor with the same goals.
