The article is from 2015, and it's tinfoil hat claptrap. Not sure how this made it to the front page.

    Thank you for this, subie. The unaware can laugh all they want but the information war is real and HN is quite popular.

      Hahahah, yeah that’s it mate. Hacker News is on the forefront of the infowars. This article is an absolute joke. The author has terrible reasoning skills. I’m glad to see that this has been flagged.

    This breaks the HN guidelines, which ask to assume good faith and not insinuate astroturfing or shilling unless you have actual evidence. Please don't do this again. No doubt nefarious actions are real but internet users have a far greater tendency to project it onto people who simply have a different view than they do. We all need to guard against this. Endless reams about this at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20astroturfing https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... if you or anyone want to understand this rule better.

      I was only kidding! That being said, thanks for the warning I'll be more careful commenting in the future.
