wow 5 nytimes articles on frontpage atm
- azhenley 8y agoAnd 4 more on the second page.
- acheron 8y agoSurprised they were able to push down all the Guardian articles.
- keiferski 8y agoYeah, I posted an Ask: HN question about this last week. Posting articles from nytimes.com on here seems to be a popular trend, which is disappointing, as HN used to be more obscure and less mainstream. It’s called Hacker News, not Most Popular Newspaper in the World News.
- dymk 8y agoHN has had a bit of an infatuation with NYTimes ever since they started running a negative article about Facebook at least once a day.

And 26 pages (500+ links) of submissions in the past month. Note that there doesn’t seem to be a way to calculate total points, which is the real issue. It seems very clear that nytimes.com is on the front page more frequently as of late.
- nathanaldensr 8y agoI've said it before and been downvoted, but it's true: HN has becoming a dumping ground for low-quality online rags--Vox, New York Times, etc.--similar to the feeling one gets when visiting /r/politics or /r/news. HN has become a source of eyeballs for these sites and I find it likely that people are being paid to post links here. Nowadays, most of the time stories have no relevance to tech whatsoever.
