Google's PR monkeys hard at work I see! I find it very, very hard to believe that HN readers would vote such a comment to the top.

  ^ Is that reply a sign, that HN is slowly transforming itself to some sort of 4chan board?

    It would certainly be better than the current Randian cryptobullshit circle jerk it is right now...

  We needn't invoke foreign entities to explain why HN voters would upvote it. Smug comments routinely get upvoted. The fault is with us, not shadowy outsiders. Apropos of which, it's in the site guidelines not to bring in insinuations of astroturfing unless there's actual evidence, so could you please not do that on HN? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    Apologies all.
