Maybe this is a good indicator for extremely high-quality posts? People start reading the link, and it is so mesmerizing that they forget they came from HN.
- dang 4y agoI do think there may be something to that, but I'm not sure what the phenomenon actually is, and I'm not sure it indicates high-quality posts*. For example it may be more that the title doesn't trigger reflexive responses. * Would that it were so easy! I've never found a programmatic indicator that holds up that way. The data is far too noisy.
