Honestly, it makes me a bit sad I am not anywhere on the list at all. Yes, I had only one front page mention ever, the rest of my entries are probably bad and useless, but still. I don't see how and why I wouldn't fall into the dataset, does anybody know please?

    How do you filter out the non-blog content? I assume you had an allow-list of known personal blogs.

      Everything is default included, and I have a long list of not-blog domains that are excluded.[0] Plus, I exclude the Alexa top 500. There are lots of not-blogs still in the dataset, but I just exclude them when I come across them in popular views. But I'm sure if you dig through positions 101-5000 you'll find lots of domains that don't match my official criteria for a blog. https://github.com/mtlynch/hn-popularity-contest-data/blob/master/data/excludes.txt https://github.com/mtlynch/hn-popularity-contest-data/blob/m...

OP here. Sorry for the exclusion! The minimum threshold for inclusion is 500 upvotes across all posts that reached the front page.[0] It looks like your domain currently has 176 total upvotes, so it misses the threshold.[1] I have the minimum because I precompute all the data so that I can serve it on a static site, but it means everyone downloads the full dataset when they visit the site. I make the threshold 500 upvotes so the CSV doesn't grow too large. [0] https://refactoringenglish.com/tools/hn-popularity/methodology/ https://refactoringenglish.com/tools/hn-popularity/methodolo...

  Thanks for the reply, you are right, I missed the threshold on my first read. While I am still sad I can see the reasons for it. Guess I have some posting to do.
