  (I guess since you posted this three times I need to reply three times. Can you please stop? this is getting repetitive and wasting time that should be going into doing other things.) That's not evidence of what you claimed upthread; it was an inept bunch of content marketers who were easily caught by HN's anti-abuse systems. The thread you're linking to contains over 20 comments that I posted explaining various aspects of this. And if you read Troy's original report you'll notice that the examples he shows of them succeeding come from other places than HN: https://twitter.com/troyd/status/1315441811658219520 https://twitter.com/troyd/status/1315441811658219520 https://twitter.com/troyd/status/1316038695535833089 https://twitter.com/troyd/status/1316038695535833089
