  Flagged. Does Techcrunch have a bunch of shill accounts that upvote every one of their articles?

    a duplicate submission is considered an update. I imagine people are auto submitting them, causing inflated upvotes

  Man, I'm glad HN doesn't have this problem. It seems the candle and mirror images should be reversed in the context of this article (the flame being the illusion). Yes, I understand the "smoke and mirror" reference.
