Replying to this for visibility. Curious why this submission reached the front page.

I’ve linked prior posts on the same topic, including my own. Does time of day affect ranking that much, or perhaps there’s an algorithm at work? The person who posted this article has >30 submissions over the past week. Maybe people recognizing a username has a big influence too.

Time of day definitely seems to affect ranking.
