What's your explanation for how it jumped straight to #5, skipping every intervening slot from #6 through #30? I spend way too much time on this site and from the more than a decade I've spent hanging out here, I've never seen stories jump straight to any spot above about #15 under any circumstances I've witnessed.
- dang 3y agoThe explanation is the same: the software works that way sometimes. It's not so uncommon. If you haven't noticed it before, that may be because you weren't as interested in those other stories as you are in this one. It happens particularly when an article contains sensational content that attracts a rush of quick upvotes, and then other readers see it on the front page, have a "WTF?" reaction, and flag it.
