@dang-- what the hell? There's no way somebody read this whole comment in that amount of time.
Is it just a given that bots can freely upvote/downvote and attempt to screw with the flow of messages on here?
I honestly cannot understand how HN has convinced a coterie of tinkerers and reverse engineers not to discuss the system that sorts and rates their own expressions of ideas.
- umvi 6y agoIt could be that someone read just the first line of your comment, realized it jived with their view, and upvoted before continuing on and finishing reading the rest of your comment. If HN stores timestamps of upvotes in the backend we could confirm (i.e. upvoting within milliseconds of submission = bot)
