I always wonder how stories get upvoted enough to make it to the front page, if /new isn't being checked in critical mass.

- ballenf 6y agoYou'll pretty regularly see a story on the front page with a low double-digit score, especially during off-peak times. Point is, it doesn't take that many upvotes coming quickly to rocket a story to the front page. I'm more frustrated at stories that get missed due to poor titles. But that's kind of also true across all of life, so probably not something HN is going to solve anytime soon.
