I have written comments on articles that were posted before. In many cases the discussions and participants are quite different. And they complement the comments of the original post.
- O__________O 4y agoHN completely random, yes there are patterns, but if you looked at 1000 articles that have been posted 5 or more times on HN you would see it’s completely random to if a topic get attention or not. Same with an emerging new story, multiple users will post it and frequently only after it’s posted a few times over hours or days does it get traction; and even then, there’s obviously a lot of posts that never get attention, but do elsewhere, but were within the scope of what’s on topic on HN.
