I don't get how this blurb is still on the front page after 8 hours, let alone how it has 26 points without any interesting comments. (Probably because it's not an interesting article; enterprise SEO dashboards are neither technologically interesting nor novel to the industry.) This whole thing looks to me like SEO people gaming the system (surprise, surprise).

I don't see what anyone forcing this to the front page would be trying to accomplish, though. Recruiting? Self-promotion? This is the problem with search-engine marketers, Reddit scammers, and the like. Just because a link makes it to the front page of an aggregator site doesn't mean that its content is interesting or engaging enough to captivate people and get them to respond to calls to action. Back in my (short) SEO days, we stressed that content was king, and if you didn't have good content to share, then there was nothing we could do to help you (except buy links from shady web directories).
