- leeoniya 13y agoyeah, sorry. the others were Show HNs, which cant contain both a link and some text. which should make a stronger point for not being penalized and having 10 points: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4512834 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4512834 but there are others that are not github submissions which reached more points and comments than i have seen for many front page posts. if this is, in fact, a velocity algo doing its thing, i would say it needs tuning. i also dont think the fact that low voted submissions get massively upvoted after hitting the front page is meaningful validation of the current algo's effectiveness. personally, i've seen a lot of genuinely interesting articles fall through the cracks of the "New" sieve despite people's obvious interest.
