Maybe the problem is people upvoting uninteresting articles.
Without wanting to be mean, it's kind of crazy that this meta-discussion about someone's inability to remain off the HN scoreboard is number one right now.
Sycophantism and idle self-promotion are boring pursuits.
EDIT: I think we should be able to down-vote uninteresting articles.
- jacquesm 16y agoMultiple submissions of the same link have the same effect as upvoting and once a thread is on the homepage it will gain a lot more views instantly, if only a small number of people on the homepage then gives it another upvote it is likely to hang around for a long time. These are artifacts of the way the 'new' and the 'news' page work, the cumulative effect of those is larger than the actual quality of the submissions.
- lwhi 16y agoBut these articles generally have many more votes than just a couple - this article has 149 at current count.
