Are people really harvesting links on /newest? You guys should know better of course, but I always thought what drove an article to the top was multiple people submitting the same link. That was my reasoning for a 24h window defining a submission.
As for karma inflation, it's an interesting concept, but I don't know if I'd like that :)
- dang 6y agoI don't know what you mean by harvesting links on /newest. Can you explain?
- tambourine_man 6y agoSorry, I meant that I for one don’t go to /newest often. And I didn’t imagine it was what drove most links to the top of the homepage. I always thought that many people submitting the same URLs was more influential.
