I though this problem was with Digg, but I've experienced same with my submissions. It's funny that people judge content by headlines, we need a better way.

- roc 15y agoThere is: delegate. Find someone who reads Hacker News [1] and blogs. Subscribe to their RSS feed. There's a trick to [1], no doubt. But for most people the time savings far outweigh the occasional mismatch between your interests and the delegate's. [1] For the same types of articles you do, ideally.
- ultrasaurus 15y agoThat's exactly what I do, though I don't read HN every day I have a script off in the cloud looking at the comments RSS feed, showing me every article that certain people comment on. As a quality filter, I find it better than the front page.
- kingsidharth 15y agoIs that script on GitHub, by any chance? Would love to have a look at it.
- th0ma5 15y agoCurious behavior arises from HN's Feed inside Google Reader with "Sort by Magic" turned on... it seems to keep the good stuff towards the top, but anything really spammy and sensational occasionally gets the top place (so watch out for anything hitting #1 in there suddenly), but then you tend to miss some of the more obscure goodies, which arguably I miss from time to time anyway. Still, it is a curious different ranking, probably mostly driven by Google Reader "likes" and sharing.
