Why is this on the third page when there are stories on the second page with fewer points and posted before this one? At least in December 2015, ranking was a function of those two things: https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking-algorithm-works-1d9b0cf2c08d https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking...

- omouse 10y agoYep, that's what I just noticed too. Interesting how a story about unionization gets pushed down. It will be interesting to see if any tech news sites pick up on this story at all. It seems like anything to do with labour/unions gets ignored.
- granfalloon 10y agoAlso noticed that and was disappointed. What else goes into the rankings apart from points & time? Edit: Now page 6: http://imgur.com/3CAfOnT http://imgur.com/3CAfOnT. (Look at the points/times of the stories above and below it...)
- Steko 10y agoRankings are also affected by the amount of comments and downvoting but when you see a story that should be on Page 1 on page 7 (at the moment) it seems overwhelmingly likely that it's flag abuse, in this case by the musk worshippers.
