hn being rigged

HN is "rigged" in that it has a set of rules that influence ranking. If you don't like those rules, yeah, you won't like it here. If you have some overdeveloped idea about how much attention you "deserve" or something, yeah, you probably won't like it here. HN doesn't exist as some venue for your personal convenience. It is a) part of the business strategy for Y-Combinator and b) a community. Every community has to find ways to balance diverse interests. And since it has a bona fide business purpose, that will come first, before other things. You can thus expect it to remain "rigged" and not live up to whatever imagined ideals you think it should ascribe to. FWIW, I think the fact that it is "rigged" is part of why it is one of the better things on the web.
