They solve it poorly. That's why HN allows up to three resubmissions for interesting material that fails to make the front page. A lot of well-deserving stuff

They solve it poorly. That's why HN allows up to three resubmissions for interesting material that fails to make the front page.
A lot of well-deserving stuff still doesn't get lucky, and never makes the front page.
- ElFitz 7y agoWhat does / would solve it well? Edit: also, for hackernews, why should it be about reaching the front page? There is only so much space there, and not reaching it does not mean not reaching anyone.
- CiPHPerCoder 7y agoReaching the front page: Thousands of readers. Not reaching the front page: Maybe two or three readers. If we're talking about solving discoverability, we cannot pretend that reaching one or two people is always going to yield the same success as reaching thousands.
