I'm the author of this post. I originally posted it here, but it didn't get a single upvote. This isn’t my first time getting on the frontpage of hackernews, but it always happens when someone else reposts my link.

Can anyone tell me how the fuck hackernews’ algorithm works to where I can’t ever get traction but someone else does after me?
