Why did this post move from #1 to #36 within minutes?

  Can confirm, 380 points, 2 hours ago. Position 36. Why?

    Maybe due to there being a previous discussion? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23564247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23564247

      Seems legit.

      Are there algorithms on HN, that sort through previous discussions and determine freshness, etc? Or is it a moderator/human review
      • njsubedi 6y ago
        Afaik it’s a human review. But they could as well add a label like (dupe) so we didn’t have to be hugely surprised when a post disappears when reloading the homepage.

  Oh wow. Didn't really notice it.

  Becuase Apple took their 3000% cut

  Threads about Apple have been getting torpedoed to the second page all day. I suspect it's because the moderators don't want the entire front page to be posts on the same general topic, but it is frustrating when there are multiple developments in a short time.

  Stop using the original HN site already. Moderation is highly opinionated. It is better to use alternative clients, then you won't miss out.
