> Either a voting ring got this post to the front page of HN, or 29 HN readers (at the time of this post) were swindled into thinking there was any substance here at all. I sometimes vote things solely by their title, and keep it open in a tab until I read it later. This way, I vote on topics that might provide an interesting conversation for later, without the investment of spending a lot of time reading each entry on the front page. Most of the value of HN ist the comments, and it would not be the first time that a bad article produced a great discussion. But thanks for the research! I didn't know that was a thing.
