Duplicate https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13500957

This submission almost got past over too. I was the third upvote. Clicked a couple of minutes after starting the video, and I don't think it had any more votes 30 minutes later.

Once a story gets past the first New page, without enough votes to reach the main page, it usually dies.

That story had no comments, so this would not be considered a duplicate.

What does classify a story as duplicate? Besides having been posted exactly the same content before?

If a story was posted earlier and got significant attention (comments and upvotes) and the same story is posted again, it would be considered a duplicate or [dupe] the second time around. The timeframe to repost a story that got significant attention is one year i.e you can repost a story one year after it got significant attention and it won't be considered a dupe.

Got it. ty
