- joeberon 5y agoGDC7 quite consistently posts incomprehensible shit. Honestly a lot of HN regulars have become incomprehensible recently.
- AlwaysRock 5y agoGot to farm that karma somehow so you can sell thought leader hackernews accounts.
- Danieru 5y agoHas there yet been a known case of HN account selling? Digg started with voting brigades but I've yet to hear of even that on HN.
- Loughla 5y agoAlso, what would be the purpose of selling an HN account?
- AlwaysRock 5y agoThe same reason you would sell any other social account. You build a profile that seems real, sell it, then the buyer uses that profile to upvote and post comments on their new product release which blows up on HN and generates much more interest and potential revenue than it would otherwise. I don't have proof that it is happening but it happens on every other social site so it would be shocking if it isnt happening here.
- OJFord 5y agoGDC7 was created 62 days ago and has two-digit karma, sure you're not thinking of someone else? (Just seems unlikely you'd recognise such a new and not particularly highly up-voted account.)
