Isn't this the point of upvoting though - if people find it interesting and new, they will upvote and stuff will be visible. I also think HN does some sort of deduplication if something has been posted recently (to count as upvote instead of new submission), but not sure of the details. | ||

It's also the point of commenting. I think they were hoping for a more specific explanation along the lines of "I'm interested in it because it has X, Y, Z implications" or "Oxy continues to be important because ____ and here's the best comprehensive intro to it." | ||
