I wonder about the bias in this survey as it goes from newest to the main page.

From one that only ever opens the main page.

Usually when I've submitted something myself.

I don't even know how to check newest except by accident.

Twice a year

Every time I come to HN, I go to newest first before really looking at the main page.

Couple of times a year.

I rarely go to the front page.

I usually go through https://brutalist.report/ rather than HN's own 'new' link. It seems to filter out a lot of slop and self-promotion.
