- gus_massa 9y agoJust in case you are reaching a wrong conclusion, if someone creates a few new account just to upvote the story, then the system detects it and it doesn't improve the rank of the submission. It doesn't mater if they just upvote or they upvote and write a non substantial comment. Also, it doesn't mater if they are a lot of real fans that are not HN users, or they are just virtual sockpuppets. (I don't know the details, it's part of the secret sauce.) If you have lots of real fans, it's useful that they help to give relevant technical replies to the questions that the HN users. (My recommendation is to avoid exclamation marks and oneliners, try to write at least three lines of text.)
