Ask HN: Anyone Else Feels an Increase in Duplicate Submissions ?
Well, I havent actually computed the rate at which duplicate stories get submitted. But off late it definitely feels like that it has increased.
Some examples:

I am sure there were others.

- michael_dorfman 16y agoI've noticed this, too, but that's still another anecdote, not data.
- JacobAldridge 16y agoNo. I have noticed a few big stories of late that cross into both business and technology (the two driving passions of the average HN user): eg, LinkedIn IPO, Eric Bergen stepping down from Google, the Goldman Sachs - Facebook - SEC discussions. Each of these has led to multiple submissions saying, often, very similar things. In addition to some actual duping, perhaps this has added to the feeling of an increase?
