Yeah. I often encounter really amazing stories, then go to post them on Hacker News only to find that they were submitted a few days ago and got little attention. This is an example:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7474094 BBC: "American Dream Breeds Shame and Blame for Job Seekers"

Submitted 4 days ago, but only had 1 point until I upvoted it just now.
