Ask HN: Has the HN article ranking algorithm changed?
Over the last few days, I've noticed that fewer new articles appear to be hitting the first and second pages of HN each day. It's as though the attrition rate has gone down. So, what's up?
Some of the larger cycles tend to correlate to YC's calendar - e.g. around application deadlines and demo days.
Currently, YC and its immediate community are not working toward a major deadline. I suspect this means that they are spending more time shaping HN's discourse than in recent weeks.
