Ask HN: Why the quality improvement for the HN frontpage on the weekends 2 points by jppope 1y ago ↗ HN I've noticed that I enjoy reading HN sooooo much more on the weekends and that the quality of articles and resources is significantly better. My question is why?
[–] starkparker 1y ago ↗ The five-day work week. Leisure time is amazing. [–] ahazred8ta 1y ago ↗ You mean people goofing off at work are rattlebrained? Bring me my clutchable pearls and my fainting couch. [–] jppope 1y ago ↗ sure that would account for the submissions being better but not the stuff that gets upvoted.

[–] warrenm 1y ago ↗ I can think of a few likely factors/culprits:- fewer people participating- fewer people trying to karma farm- less "news" on the weekends- more "fun"/"interesting" on the weekends [–] jppope 1y ago ↗ Definitely less news. Whats the point of Karma farming on HN? [–] warrenm 1y ago ↗ maybe "karma farming" is not the best wording ... more like "folks are in front of their screens all day, so share everything they see"
