I once got an article to the top of the front page and it was because it was about what I learned in 10yrs of blogging. I expected a couple of other submissions of things I made like https://polispulse.org https://polispulse.org to do great, but they didn’t! Success on HN cannot be engineered or tricked and content that is genuinely good always surfaces. I’m pretty sure it’s not economically viable to find a hack to rank an average submission. It’s by far easier and more rewarding to produce something worth sharing :)
