So many submissions, so little discussion:

I missed those, my bad. I didn't search correctly.

Every time I submit something I hit the "past" link to see if it's been submitted before, and if so, whether there had been any discussion.

In a sense, having been submitted before is validation, and maybe that's a good reason (if it was long enough ago) to submit it again anyway. The odd thing is when there are several submissions, and yet no discussion.

Previous discussion in 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23744613

People in there remarked that it was not very effective, but from that NY Times article it either has improved, or works great for journalists who are somewhat publicly known?

I'm not willing to upload my picture to test just yet.
