I think the velocity of the votes and the unique-ness of their geography matters a lot more than comments or discussions.



> unique-ness of their geography

The location of the server is a factor??


It's not listed in https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/m... or in https://drewdevault.com/2017/09/13/Analyzing-HN.html

It's the first time I hear anyone mention it. It would be great if OP had some supporting link.


The location of the voter.


Ohh I see, okay thanks. Surprising but cool!


So if one creates a HN profile from Amundsen–Scott Station, you can have a disproportionate effect? Very interesting.


I imagine it's not the mere creation that matters but where the login is usually from? And I'd assume the account age matters too...
