- craigkerstiens 16y agoThis would actually be interesting if it showed long term effects. The posts only a few days after seem to come up every other day now, versus actually showing the long term effects. Are many bloggers consistently growing their user base over many months? If so would love to hear about how those stats actually looked from an long past HN front page article.
