  > I feel like there must have been something else since 2016? Funny, that was my feeling as well. I'm 99% sure to have read a discussion on this here, but all submissions after 2016 (apart from today's) have no comments at all, hence also no comments linking to the older discussion. Edit: Removed the remark on missing comments. The default search settings do not search for comments.

  exactly, what's the mechanism by which this keeps getting posted individually (a time limit I assume)? it almost seems like marketing spam at this point.

    The mechanism is simple: people keep running across it and finding it interesting. It's not spam, it's just the statistical cloud at work. On HN, reposts are fine when a story hasn't had a significant thread in a year or so (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). So it's certainly ok after 5 years! Though I'd swear we'd seen more threads than that...

    Maybe a different marketing spam. I almost posted a video to Reddit last week that popped up on YouTube. It was an older video, by someone I’ve watched before, might have been one I’ve already seen, but there it was. I got distracted and didn’t. Three hours later, someone else posted it. It could be pure coincidence, but more likely The Algorithm was trying to shake things up and sent fifty, a hundred, a thousand of us the same old url.
