Pointing to the five or so posts of this story helps to highlight the fact that New Yorker[1] gets very many duplicate submissions, most of which get very few comments / upvotes.

But many sites don't get this and repeat submissions just count as dupes.

Look at this: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=newyorker.com It's crammed full of dupes.
