You are right I forgot that, heh. Anyway, the problem remains that over time there will be more people to upvote so a post is likely to get more points if it was posted in the future than in the past.
- fghtr 9y agoNot really. Just tried to upvote an old post from 10 years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=243417 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=243417 As a result, its score did not increase, although upvoting "worked".
- bringtheaction 9y agoNo I mean that a front page post five years ago had fewer people to vote on it so it would get fewer points simply for that reason compared to a front page post today.
