Wrong from whose perspective? It's strange that "wrong" things make it to the front page. By definition wouldn't that make them "right?"

- dang 13y agoIf only it were that simple. HN is about optimizing for intellectual curiosity, and that is only one of the reasons why stories get upvoted.
- seizethecheese 13y agoYeah I understand that perspective. I really think that these are the type of posts that won't be upvoted like some post about Elon Musk or Bitcoin. I guess there's a good potential for promotional upvotes since there are so many people invested in the post being seen. Would it be possible to not count upvotes from people who post comments? (Not comments of comments, however.)
