I upvote every submission of the same article that I find interesting or useful, but it gets ridiculous after a while. And not to do so seems utterly wrong from my point of view, since points are given to submitters, and receiving points grants them benefits.
Maybe if HN consistently registered the first submitted link and marked all others as dupes automatically. Even so, still seems a flawed reward system.
- masonic 7y agoI upvote every submission of the same article that I find interesting ... then you are intentionally rewarding submitters of dupes?
- Ultramanoid 7y agoSo I should vote only the first submitter and to do so hunt down all the instances of the article posted before, to find out who was the first ? And that'd be the value in karma -- who submits first ? Sure, it'd make at least more sense than it does now, which is randomly giving hundreds of karma points to anyone. Still wrong in my view, and worth giving more value to comments. I've already commented anyway, not sure why HN does not automatically register the first time a link is submitted and redirect the rest to the first one.
