Hacker News Reader

So weird to see this on the front page of HackerNews this week. I was browsing The Mod Archive just a few days ago and enjoyed this exact mod and noted how familiar it sounded. I added it to my 'favourite tunes' Youtube playlist too. My cynical mind thinks maybe there's some connection between my search history and stories that appear on my HN frontpage. However, it's likely just a coincidence.

I find myself really enjoying HN around this time of year when there's less traffic to the site and articles like this get a a much bigger chance to make it to the front page.

If there is a connection it is more likely that a series of marketing campaigns is promoting content like this in broader strokes that lead to your search history existing via subliminal influence.
