No 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.
