Does poster karma boost the post in any way?
- sk4rekr0w 17d agoI don't believe HN boosts their algo but I think people recognize posters like celebs. I recognize tosh, simonw, etc. Also it's an easy way to farm karma. The pelican guy posted a pelican, let's upvote it? It's at least a bit of psychosis / mass effect in this. For what it's worth, I like the pelicans but just making an observation
