  To be honest, I posted this: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2364399 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2364399 It never made it to the Front page, but has been close to the top of the second front page, and even after falling off the "New" page it still garnered the occasional vote. That suggested that people either were clicking through, or had marked it as "Read Later" and then did so. I wondered how many people saw it at all, and hence the question.

    Ah, if that's the case, then it never appeared in my RSS feed. I'm not sure how the RSS feed is composed (i.e. which submissions show up in it), but perhaps it's more selective than I'd thought. (I was already getting a hundred links each day!) Interesting post though: I think there was a similar discussion in Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley (Good book).

    One morning I noticed that stories had been coming in at over one per minute for an hour, so that the front two new pages only contained about 30 minutes worth of submissions each. The great majority of them had not been voted on. The stories are coming in even faster right now, but there seems to be more people checking them out.
