Hi philipp (in case you're reading this),
Could you clarify what do you mean by "points" ("score" in your pre-print)?
Also, what's your data source?
"This study uses publicly available data from Hacker News." is not really a data source.
Also also, you missed the largest, most important effect that skews the votes on this site. But you can definitely find it on the dataset you got, that'd be a very interesting disclosure!
Hint: Immediately after posting this comment, it went to the bottom and "downvotes" magically started to come in ;).
- 7777777phil 10mo agoHi I'm trying to catch up to the comments but definitely appreciate this! I wrote a worker that uses the public API to archive all post and comments and create regular snapshots to track growth etc (https://github.com/philippdubach/hn-archiver https://github.com/philippdubach/hn-archiver). I will upload a newer version of the code and dataset when I publish the paper. And I will clarify the source as you noted. Thanks again! If you find the time please reach out to the email on my page or on bluesky (new there) very interested to discuss the "effect" you mentioned.
- moralestapia 10mo agoOkay, I'll reach out. Btw, excellent work!
