[QUOTE="Hacker News, post: 70012, member: 365"] We all know about the tyranny of user-upvoted content. Some good posts fall through the cracks and never get the attention they deserve. But I think HN is suffering from a slightly different problem. There are so many good posts that often extremely relevant and well received content never even hits my front page, and I am on this site [I]a lot[/I]. I often use the "Search" feature to surface articles I am interested about, and many times I happen upon posts in the 100+ votes from the past day or two that somehow I didn't even see. I wonder if the really quick decaying algorithm paired with the amount of quality posts creates the unfortunate situation that reaching the front page or the intended audience is just a matter of pure luck. Have we reached a singularity point where Hacker News has become too popular and on average too interesting that content relevant to your interests rarely reaches you?
