That's quite a lot! One of every 25, so probably at least one on the front page at any time? Are there domains that account for considerably more than 4%? Would be interesting to see a top ten list.

  nytimes.com is #3 domain of late, really #2 behind only github.com if you exclude ycombinator.com (all of the Shows, Asks, etc.) Top 10 domains by # of items on front page since 1/1/18: rank | domain | count ------+-----------------+------- 1 | github.com | 2041 2 | ycombinator.com | 1911 3 | nytimes.com | 1818 4 | bloomberg.com | 1028 5 | medium.com | 826 6 | techcrunch.com | 735 7 | theguardian.com | 666 8 | github.io | 615 9 | bbc.com | 558 10 | arstechnica.com | 493

While that is true, NYT posts are more highly upvoted than most other frontpage items

Okay, but honestly, counting submissions is the weaker metric. There ain't a fucking day that goes by that NYT isn't on the fucking main page, and it AIN'T because the articles are that good. You mean to tell me NYT is just naturally in the top 30 submissions, ALL DAY LONG, for 100% of days, for months at a time? Even above 90% of days gets to be slightly disgusting for a supposedly diverse news aggregator to stay "intellectually stimulating." The articles that get vote brigaded to the surface are fluffy, political and shallow. Also, with copious political bias, according to the usual NYT leanings. You know they're looking at the github repo and operating accounts to circumvent the usual vote ring detectors. How many other outlets do this? Maybe arstechnica and techcrunch. Not even wired is on the main page this much. Not BBC. Not CNN. I've stopped clicking NYT articles because I've grown to hate their ultra polarized reporting and journalism, ever since November 2016.
