FWIW, nytimes.com accounts for ~4% of all posts that appear on the HN homepage: https://toddwschneider.com/dashboards/hacker-news-trends/?q=...

That's quite a lot! One of every 25, so probably at least one on the front page at any time? Are there domains that account for considerably more than 4%? Would be interesting to see a top ten list.

nytimes.com is #3 domain of late, really #2 behind only github.com if you exclude ycombinator.com (all of the Shows, Asks, etc.)

Top 10 domains by # of items on front page since 1/1/18:

   rank |     domain      | count 
  ------+-----------------+-------
      1 | github.com      |  2041
      2 | ycombinator.com |  1911
      3 | nytimes.com     |  1818
      4 | bloomberg.com   |  1028
      5 | medium.com      |   826
      6 | techcrunch.com  |   735
      7 | theguardian.com |   666
      8 | github.io       |   615
      9 | bbc.com         |   558
     10 | arstechnica.com |   493

While that is true, NYT posts are more highly upvoted than most other frontpage items
