- idsout 4y agoUpvoted. Honest question. How did this make the front page of HN with 4 upvotes at the time?
- bryanrasmussen 4y agowhat don't things get moved to HN even with few upvotes and then disappear after a couple seconds? So with 4 upvotes could just be it was its turn to be put on the front page but 4 people had already voted. Also I thought there was some sort of thing that rewarded if you got a lot of votes quickly, like if you got 4 upvotes in a couple minutes it would probably push you to the front page and keep you there long enough to get more votes? However take all that with grain of salt because I have never actually tried to figure out how upvotes work, this was just my not trying to understand at all sort of soaked up ideas.
- cryptoz 4y agoUsed to be common to see links on front page with 3 votes, but it’s been a while I think since I’ve seen that.
