I don't follow.
- neya 9y ago> but has the mechanics of HN > keeping shilling off reddit? They do a pretty good job on HN. That's my point. I understand why you cite Reddit, but that's not my point.
- TheCoelacanth 9y agoClearly the mechanics of upvoting/downvoting don't prevent shilling at scale. HN is just small enough to not attract large numbers of dedicated shills.
