Link is wrong, should be https://www.openculture.com/2023/03/a-student-writes-a-rejec...

(It's currently https://www.openculture.com/2023/03/a-student-writes-a-rejec...)

Funny how it got upvoted enough to get on the frontpage but no one actually bothered to open the link it seems.

I've sometimes wondered if the click-through ratio to the link should/does factor into ranking stories.

Being HN I'd rather be optimistic more than just you and me were able to see the URL was duplicated when it failed to load. After all you can't downvote a story and it's only at 11 points after 4 hours.

Yeah you're probably right
