You will see all the posters-or-bots posting.
I've started collecting them, I'm thinking about how to remove some of the load on the Mods.

- interleave 5y agoI'd love to see what you're seeing but I don't fully understand what your instruction above means ("Click on the posts trailing url > (some-rubbish-or-malware-site.suspect"). Can you please clarify? Thank you so much! I set showdead to "yes" and can see [dead] submissions under https://news.ycombinator.com/newest https://news.ycombinator.com/newest btw.
- News-Dog 5y agoSorry I was unclear, [Warning this site likely hosts Malware] as an example; [dead] [SNIP] 'Keygen Free Download 2022' >> (freshcrack.best) << = https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=freshcrack.best https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=freshcrack.best
- interleave 5y agoOh, that's so cool, thank you very much for clarifying. Looking at your example in light of Jacque's overall question I would say, this operator is either paid directly or indirectly to promote the site. I don't know/can't tell if that's a long play "in order to influence the discussion" or just promote installs for compromised software. Anyone know what the usual go-to reason for this kind of submission is?
