I was actually wondering about this. It only had 12 points at the time of this writing so I’m curious whether HackerNews weighs certain votes higher than others

  Early votes are weighted higher than later votes. If you browse /new your upvotes are far more impactful. If you browse the front page, much more rare to make a difference to a submission's trajectory, unless it just got there, then you can help determine whether / how long it stays.

  I've only watched a few articles from the new queue for through their process of hitting the front page (and it's really great to be the first one to upvote something that gets there, more people should check out that queue!) But even with that limited knowledge, 12 points in 45 seems more than necessary to get something to the front page, at which point it has a mind of its own. And the low quality of previously great password managers certainly strikes a chord with me... BitWarden is the only one I can stand these days, but it's not great.

  People want to reiterate '1Password subscription bad' pretty much. It's the running theme for all recent 1Password related stories: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29993961 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29993961 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28145247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28145247 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27194279 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27194279
