HN needs to post new stories on the front page to give them a chance
If you know Hacker News, you know that it’s a pretty big programmer/startup site.
But it seems like noone views the new tab(i.e. in the example below, not a single one of those stories got an upvote…even after 27 minutes.(this was in the middle of the day too)
What I think HN needs is to post the latest submissions on the front page(like reddit). That way every new story gets the extra exposure for a few minutes to see if anyone thinks it’s worthy. If not..it goes to die in the new tab. If yes…it has some chance to survive.
