- icantthinkofone 12y agoAnd also the story I posted 11 days ago.
- avinassh 12y agobut this submission did not get enough upvotes nor was on front page. Why so
- lisper 12y agoBecause whether a story makes it onto the front page is a total crap shoot. It depends entirely on whether anyone is looking at the new page in the 30-60 minutes immediately after you submit.
- rjtavares 12y agoBecause success, both for startups and for HN submissions, is highly affected by chance.
- Gurkenmaster 12y agoSo HN is bascicially a startup simulator for side projects?
- deegles 12y agoI'm imagining now a system where users with lots of karma can "invest" in posts they think should be on the front page, incubator style. If they make it to the front page it's an "IPO" of sorts and they get a return on the other users votes.
