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

Are they self posting? Are they bots?

What is HN?
- Hacker News
- hackernews, likely
- Henrietta Net, a visual novel / anime marketplace
- Two very different answers here 😛
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.
