Ask HN: Is there any pro tip to help increase karma?
I would like any pro tip to start writing on HN
Please note that i'm not begging for upvotes... What works well is to strike a balance between insight and rationality. Be logical, non-emotional, but have something interesting to say. Moreover, personal experience seems to score well, in particular when it underscores your insight into the subject. Take a look at the top comment on several current comment leaders: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17620543 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17623104 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17617825 Don't force it. Comment on topics you have genuine experience, interest or insight into. If you hit the right tone, your comment should naturally do well. PS: With the number of HN users growing year-by-year, it gets easier to score those little dopamine hits... Thanks :)! I would like to know it too...
