Why all these duplicate submissions at HN?

Seems to be happening way often. Is it hard to point out duplicate submission during submission so these just would not happen?
- nullish_signal 4y agoAn automated/AI/community system for merging/filtering/tagging duplicates would be nice Now you basically just have to know there's a dupe account/link, say "flagged for dupe", etc.... sorta clunky, I agree
- gardenfelder 4y agoSome observant HN users simply past prior HN links into recent posts on the same topic. That, of course, is not a solution given the nature of how HN us used: see a cool page, drop it in HN - without looking first to see if it's already there. There are, of course, technical solutions to the problem.
