Thanks! If someone linked a NYT recipe for chicken soup here, it would be full of "fake news" comments. [edit: speculation removed]

  It breaks the site guidelines to post insinuations about brigading. Internet users are much too quick to project that (or astroturfing, shilling, etc.) into comments they dislike. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix=true&page=0&query=by:dang%20astroturf https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... You're right, of course, that off-topic shallow dismissals are bad comments for HN.

    Oops, I forgot about that guideline. Won't be a problem in future.
