Most Engaged Hacker News Creators

This ranking covers 100 Hacker News creators, drawn from 30,503 posts ViralHunt tracks — 16.7M in combined points and comments.

todsacerdoti leads it with 813.1K across 1,482 tracked posts, 5% of everything on this page and 7× the median creator here — a spread wide enough that the top of this list is doing something the rest of it is not.

Positions come from the posts themselves, not from audience size: an account with a small following that consistently outperforms it places above a larger one that does not. Ranked by tracked engagement, recalculated as new posts are collected, so this page moves as the Hacker News accounts we track do. How ViralHunt measures this →
