How did this make it to the front-page with 11 points by linking to "https://0.0.0.0:4000/blog/force-dns-pihole"? Do most people just vote based on the title?

The title says something about the PiHole and the link is to 0.0.0.0. And it made it to the front page.

Maybe we count this one as an art performance?

I would presume most upvotes on most articles come from people just voting on the title.

I was wondering the same thing. It's at #4 on my front page at the moment, and the link obviously doesn't work.

Yes, that's open secret of hn and reddit. Only small fraction actually reads articles.
