alt Hacker NewsUnfortunately it's kind of random what makes it to the front page. If HN had a mechanism to ensure only primary sources make it, automatically replacing secondary sources that somehow rank highly, I'd be all for that, but we don't have that.

Sounds fortunate to me. If it were predictable then it woud be predicted, and then gamed.
Instead HN has human moderators, who often make changes in response to these kinds of things being pointed out. Which is quite a luxury these days!
