I don&amp;#x27;t know eneough of statisitcs to explain it well, but as 20 people is so small amount of the total HN readers, it&amp;#x27;s basically &lt;i&gt;luck&lt;/i&gt;. And the representation of those who reads the &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; section might be a bit skewed from those who only reads the front page. If you want to help HN get better with more interesting content, you can help by actually visiting the &amp;quot;new&amp;quot; section.</text></comment>

I still get more upvotes&amp;#x2F;karma from writing witty comments instead of publishing code.</text></comment>
