You are right I forgot that, heh. Anyway, the problem remains that over time there will be more people to upvote so a post is likely to get more points if it was posted in the future than in the past.


Not really. Just tried to upvote an old post from 10 years ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=243417

As a result, its score did not increase, although upvoting "worked".


No I mean that a front page post five years ago had fewer people to vote on it so it would get fewer points simply for that reason compared to a front page post today.
