I was wondering the same thing coz seems to me users with higher karma has a much better chance that their posts surfaces. Wonder if the HN algorithm works karma into the equation?
- matsemann 6y agoI think there is a correlation, but only because people with more karma have been her longer and probably posted more stuff. So naturally some of their posts eventually will end up on the front page. As for getting it to the front page, having a few early votes are critical. Then it will be seen by more people, and it snowballs from there. So it's mostly luck/timing.
