Ask HN: How many of you read beyond the top 200 posts on HN?
How many of you read beyond the top 200 posts on HN?
- high5ths 15y agoVery few of us, I would say.
- viggity 15y agoI don't even look at pages past 120
- iamjonlee 15y agoI don't think I even hit past 90 on most days..
- FilterJoe 15y agoI never read beyond top 200 from front page. However, 5-20x/week I click on "new" and skim headlines from the top 10 or so (or anything on the page with at least 2 votes). Most of these never make it to the top 200, yet I typically find about as many posts whose content is of interest to me on this page as there are on the front page. Of course, the nice thing about the front page is that the discussion can often be more interesting than the content. Won't get that on new posts.
- iamjonlee 15y agoYes! I feel the same way- there are a lot of good posts that never make it to the top 200. I think time really plays an issue here. If the post is submitted at non-peak hours, not enough people read it, causing the post to be forgotten about somewhere far in the HN archive.
- smoyer 15y agoVery rarely ... and when I do I start thinking perhaps I should go adjust my procrastination settings.
- slamdunc 15y agoBy the time I hit pg 3 (90 posts) I have so many tabs open with things I want to check out, I make myself go through them. But rather than culling the amount of tabs, it tends to just generate more... Sadly, I rarely make it to 91+. Reminds me of one of my favorite entries in the urban dictionary: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=link%20diving http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=link%20diving
- stfu 15y agoI am more often reading the "new" and "ask" segment than the top30. But I almost never go deeper than the top30.

- chunky1994 15y agoI mostly stick to the top 30, although I occasionally skim the first 100 for stuff that interests me, because even the interesting ones that are submitted at non-peak times don't often go lower than that.
