- ColinWright 6y agoNo way it's a record ... people need to start putting "Classic HN:" at the beginning of posts like this. I'm reminded of this: https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/ Personally, when I'm reading something, or after I've read it, I think "Did I learn something? Was I entertained? Was it of value? This one was of value the first few times I read it, and I don't begrudge that for people who are meeting it for the first (or tenth) time.
- faitswulff 6y agoSomeone needs to make a "true HN" site where only links that have been submitted more than the mode of submission frequencies.
- ColinWright 6y agoIt would get gamed, which is why we can't have nice things.
- dr_dshiv 6y agoUnless it were curated, which is why people are nice.
- jtbayly 6y agoWhich is why meat is better than machine.
- streeto 6y agoThis comment is why I read HN.
- webmaven 6y ago> Unless it were curated, which is why people are nice. Curation could be pretty simple: mere submission isn't enough, the submission has to have made it to the front page. Given the anti-abuse safeguards already in place here (since getting a submission to the front page is an attractive goal already), I wouldn't expect that any attempts to get a link included in that collection would succeed.
- tacocataco 6y agoHow about making a tag, section or filter that's a "best of"? Maybe even a option to add in old posts to your feed? say at the bottom of the first page is a "best of" submission.

- skocznymroczny 6y agoWouldn't surprise me, it's almost a perfect HN trap
- b0rsuk 6y agoThe proper term is a 'HN meme'. I'm using "meme" in the original meaning: a viral idea.
- _where 6y agomeat not meme.
- hunter2_ 6y agoI'm pretty sure the modern meaning of "meme" is fundamentally the same as the original meaning. The fact that lately there's a popular aesthetic (so popular as to have "generators" that ignore the possibility of other aesthetics) is separate in a way. A bit like how the word "album" was, for a time, heavily implicative of a vinyl record, but fundamentally it's any cohesive grouping of works.
- b0rsuk 6y agoI hope the meaning doesn't devolve the way `troll` did.
- nealabq 6y agoI think skocznymroczny is punning on the term "honey trap" with honey == HoNey == HN.
- skocznymroczny 6y agoNo. A honeypot would work though. This is an example of content that is bound to be shared often on HN. It's trying to be thought-provoking, is relatively old and doesn't require any previous reading or familiarity with a specific technology to be understood.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 6y agoThe cool thing about this site is that if you don't like it you don't have to upvote.
- fractionalhare 6y agoI didn't read that comment as a complaint. It seems like it's just an observation.
- aj7 6y agoFirst time I’ve seen it though, an HN has basically been my home page for 6 years.
