Title: We all know about the tyranny of user-upvoted content. Some good posts fall through the cracks and never get the attention they deserve.<p>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 &quot;Search&quot; 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&#x27;t even see.<p>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?<p>EDIT: ironically, this post is now on the front page. If there&#x27;s one thing I love about this site, is how it&#x27;s slightly biased in favour of Ask HN and Show HN posts. Even in such a massive forum, everybody gets their 15 minutes in the spotlight.
