Too many submissions?

by paulpauper·11y ago·2 comments·view on hn ↗
I noticed that there is an entire new batch of submissions every 20 minutes. What will happen if the site becomes so popular that it happens every 5 minutes, or worse? How many of these submissions are automated? I think automated submissions could be problematic. It seems like we're flooded with content

in irc://irc.freenode.org/#hn I see a constant flow, no batches.
Batches aside, is the "constant" volume high? I think that's what OP's getting at.

I think the time of day makes a difference as this is mini-break/lunch-break time for US HN'ers.
