73% of users vote prior to reading TFA, according to this research. (I am sometimes guilty of this myself)
We live in a world being dimished by confirmation bias, but this isn't a new thing. Those who wrote/approved the headlines always had more power than those who wrote the articles.

edit: disclaimer, no hate on TFA. Just responding to the comment.

It needs a follow-up: "How I made it to the top of HN with zero content beyond a catchy title" It further proves the key to getting your stuff on HN is not to post interesting content, it's to post something that sounds interesting.

- LearnYouALisp 4mo agoHuh, I didn't even remember to vote for posts, i just scroll down to read (and vote sometimes on comments)

- consumer451 4mo agon=309 is better than n=1, but yeah... However, tracking over a year might make the subject forget about the whole thing, and act naturally. As far as HN vs Reddit, not much difference really. I mean that as more props to reddit users than anything against HNers.
