&gt;&gt;&quot; It&#x27;s content that&#x27;s king. That&#x27;s good news for Hacker News because it indicates that what matters there is content and not game playing&quot;. &lt;&lt;<p>If that were the case I should have much more Karma. The fact is many times I posted a submission, only to see it slip off the headline in 0.2ms. Then a few days later, someone else (with more Karma) posts the same thing and it stays on for 2 days ... I&#x27;m not complaining, simply stating that it is not as cut and dry as the author mentions.
