Upvoted. Honest question. How did this make the front page of HN with 4 upvotes at the time?

  what 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.

  Used 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.
