Dang, I feel like I am missing something and cannot make much sense out of your comment even after rereading it multiple times. Is this about the submission itself? Or something else? Would you be kind and expand a bit on it?
- WCityMike 6y agoOp is new acct (5/15) with 'digital marketing exec' as occupation
- exdsq 6y agoWhat’s the point of farming karma though?
- dang 6y agoSpammers think it will help them. It doesn't.
- blaser-waffle 6y agoPost history & Karma adds legitimacy. There might be a weighting effect from high-karma posters when posting or up- or down-voting other post. There is a TON of propaganda and marking on HN though. These guys are just idiots, or are obvious dangles.
- dang 6y agoThere's a ring of spammers posting things like this. It's pointless because we just ban their shit anyway. Does that answer your question?
- PostPlummer 6y agoMost surprising thing it: users on HN seem to love this "Facebook kinda content", counting the replies.
- dang 6y agoThere's a bit of survivorship bias in there because a lot of such posts go nowhere. But the community does respond strongly to opportunities to personally share. The main reason it works, though, is that it's relatively uncommon. If it were a big slice of the pie people would get bored and complain.
- PostPlummer 6y ago> survivorship bias Makes a lot of sense, thanks.
- tandr 6y agoYes, thank you. The fact that I haven't noticed it means that moderators team is doing a great job!
