I, for one, do not notice the number of votes next to a story. As long as it's in the top 150, if it looks interesting, I'll read it, if not, I'll skip it.

- christofd 17y agoAgain, I meant upvotes on comments, not on stories. I should have been more clear. Anyway, there are probably social effects on the voting of stories going on - I'm just not that clear on the other algorithms in place that HN uses to determine the rank of stories (that's why I left this out for now).
