Interestingly, this has been submitted 28 times, and yet none has got more than a few upvotes. It's almost as if people think it's worth submitting, but if someone else submits it, they won't give it a vote to indicate it's a good thing.

Smacks a little of hypocrisy. If it's worth submitting, it's worth upvoting, surely.

Anyway ...

There were many, many more, but they've been marked as duplicates. No idea why these ones weren't, but there you go.

Out of interest, here's a more complete list:

I thought it was interesting and submitted it. I haven't seen it submitted before.

Looks like Medium appends a randomised (tracking?) string to the URL which causes each submission to not automatically upvote the last.

Calling it hypocrisy might be a bit of a stretch.

All the dupes of this come from medium.com adding a unique tracking ID to every link. We're going to do a bunch of work on duplicate detection soon and this annoyance will be one of the first things we take care of.
