Why is this the top comment? It's literally just a copy and paste of one of the linked Reddit comments (and badly formatted to boot).

Woa, have people started stealing top comments and crossposting them to farm karma?
Yep. This is probably the third or so time that I've seen a comment stolen from a related reddit thread get posted on HN by a new account and get called out. Who knows how often it happens and no-one notices.
nothng new... about as old as the web
Seems reasonable to flag it--new account, straight-up copy and paste even including "priduct", karma farming, no good can come of it.
