Re: traffic from HN. My submissions fall off the new listings in minutes, but I still get more visitors than from twitter posts with tens of likes. This website is crazy big.


I'm guessing that's because HN optimizes for interesting headlines that lead to click-throughs to submitted links (intellectual curiosity), while Twitter optimizes for on-platform consumption (entertainment).
