Hacker News · 43 likes · 16 comments
Reach blends public engagement (views, likes, comments, shares, stars) from the platforms where the story or its original source lives: YouTube, Hacker News, GitHub, Substack and similar. A video and the article written from its transcript share one score, taken from the video. Platforms with no data are left out rather than counted as zero, and the age of a story never lowers its score.

The claim is a prediction from a single opinion source, not a documented industry shift, and its reasoning cannot be assessed from the title alone.
