- mattnewton 9y agoMy first thought was that comment would be easy to automate - visit site, if you detect a paywall, complain, easy way to pad out your upvote bot’s comment history. But you’d make the comment random right? And they have real looking histories. Huh.
- waterphone 9y agoBy the time I got here, there were two identical comments and I thought it was weird, so I added a third identical comment to make it weirder (and because the article link was completely useless and unreadable, so it was a valid complaint).
