I spend a bit of time most days on new submissions. With so many submissions being made there's no way some high quality content (or at least content of interest to me) won't ever make it on the front page here so I think it's worth a few minutes to see what's there. That said, a couple months ago one of my submissions got buried quickly and about an hour later I got an email from HN telling me they "put it in the second-chance pool, so it will get a random placement on the front page sometime in the next 24 hours" I was pretty amazed by that and it warmed my soul. They included a link to learn more about that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11662380
