- sveng 7y agoThe last two sentences that comment are meaningful to me.
- edmundsauto 7y agoYes, please let me know an underserved market so I can compete with you!
- _bxg1 7y agoAny user with "throwaway" right in the name automatically gets ignored by me.
- benburleson 7y agoI hate that I'm responding here, but have to point out that your comment is obviously not true.

- _bxg1 7y agoYes, yes. My point is that people create throwaways in order to knowingly post low-quality (toxic or otherwise) replies without having the downvotes affect their main accounts. If they thought their comment was going to make a positive contribution, they'd use their main account. So if they disvalue their own post, I'm certainly not going to value it.
- tomhoward 7y agoNot always true. People have various reasons for using throwaway accounts, depending on the context. HN's guidelines don't prohibit throwaways; they only discourage routine use of them: Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create them routinely. On HN, users should have an identity that others can relate to. It may be right that the throwaway account you replied to was gratuitous, but it's not true that they're only ever used for low-quality comments.
