Fot a more zen perspective, consider the upside down: It’s not the poster that got it to the front page, but the people who upvoted it.
If those were all fresh accounts, it would have been detected as a voting ring.
- pcunite 9y agoInteresting. I guess HN looks at that. It could still be a voting ring from established accounts. Sleeper accounts in fact, some created years ago. Another serious concern is we have down-voting going on that does not seem to be moderated. I have 4 for simply asking this question! It requires effort on my part to game the vote system to counter that effect, like saying something funny in one of the casual "techy" threads. HN is becoming work, and not so much fun anymore. Mob voting mentality is starting to take over ever since Trump's election. Did all the CTR (correct the record) drones come here to where we can't ask a question without punishment? Notes: Use the down-vote button on this post so that dang can find out who you are.
- hueving 9y ago>I have 4 for simply asking this question! That's because it was an awful question implying a voting ring or some other collusion. If you are truly concerned about it, message the mods or flag the post. Don't pollute the conversation with voting conspiracies. >Notes: Use the down-vote button on this post so that dang can find out who you are. Don't tempt people to downvote, don't whine about downvotes. Those are both horrifically boring conversation topics so people downvote those comments.
