Only 35 points. I don’t think there’s any need for astroturfing allegations.
- maxqin1 5y agoTrue, but would a smart manipulator risk doing anymore than what it takes to push this to the #2 spot? (current rank at the time of this comment)
- granzymes 5y agoI don’t think there’s any need for astroturfing allegations given the low vote count and the fact that HN is predisposed to this type of article headline.
- maxqin1 5y agoI agree, my actual point was to point out the clear dislike of Google here. I only used to astroturfing comment as a mode of comparison, not to actually suggest it was the reason. But I agree, astroturfing allegations are not productive.
- dang 5y agoPlease don't post unsubstantive provocations here.
