How're people on HN constantly finding 20 yo interesting blog posts?

Are they self posting? Are they bots?

Lots of different ways.

  • reposts
  • sourcing from other sites.
  • reading popular blog archives.

Thanks for an answer :)

What would 2 and 3 be? Like blogs they are popular now and going back?

For #2, there are multiple websites that deal with similar subjects. Pull good links from one and paste to another.

For #3, you are correct. Also, reading other blog posts on a linked blog.

The search function on the side is pretty decent, and clicking on the sourced link of a post shows you all the other times it was posted.
