Researchers discover a black hole feeding frenzy that breaks records
- DrScump 10y agoWord for word blogspam of http://www.unh.edu/unhtoday/2017/02/feeding-frenzy http://www.unh.edu/unhtoday/2017/02/feeding-frenzy
- brudgers 10y agoNobody submitted that link...probably because no HN'er who loves 'yay science' stories RSS feeds unhtoday.. Instead, people who are interested in 'yay science' subscribe to the aggregators because it is many of orders of magnitude more efficient than trying to subscribe to all the potential sources of 'yay science' stories many of which are as obscure as unhtoday.
- DrScump 10y agoEven if you choose to follow the blogspam sites, given that the actual source is referenced right in the blogspammer article, why submit the abbreviated (sometimes erroneously) and adware-laden pale imitator?
- brudgers 10y agoSince I didn't submit it, I can only speculate. My speculation is that it's generally easier to submit the link that shows up in a person's inbox; with press announcements it's mostly a wash (the source isn't a scientific paper); and it's probably a bit more acceptable to repeat information on scientific topics since the idea of repeatability is embedded in science and the idea of copyright is not so much.
