Gotta love it when content from 2020 on a claim like this ends up on front page.

- syockit 4y agoAs someone else commented in another link posted by this poster, the poster seems to be a repost bot posting every hour.
- cheschire 4y agoHis profile clearly says he’s a guy though, it doesn’t say he’s a bot. /s
- ddtaylor 4y agoI am a guy plus it's a quote from a movie.
- redbell 4y agoIMHO, this user should be banned from posting as it is a "repost robot". As per HN guidelines, a submission is "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity", and I should add an "&&" operator with the following criteria "you should already read the article, or at least, visited the page you are about to submit and find it interesting". Having the above said, I doubt a robot could do this even if it is "GATOed" or "GPT-{3,4..}ed"

- ntoskrnl 4y agoWhy did you find Twitter's CEO stepping down in 2015 interesting enough to repost? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31688455 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31688455 Also, when is the last time you slept?
- ddtaylor 4y agoI think that story is pretty relevant given the current Twitter situation with Elon Musk. I don't believe it's against the HN rules to share an account.
- r721 4y agoWhat about this post? How is that relevant today? >Anthony Bourdain has died (2018) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31651844 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31651844
- ddtaylor 4y agoPlease see the HN guidelines: > Please don't post insinuations about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken.
- Aeolun 4y agoOk, lets assume it is a real person regurgitating every old successful post. Does that make it better?
- ddtaylor 4y agoMany people submit things that have been on HN before and the guidelines are clear that reposts are allowed when older than a year. There have been a lot of stories that when resubmitted years later have very interesting discussions surrounding them because of the developments since they were submitted - the context is entirely different.

- Aeolun 4y agoI don’t mind that, but re-posting multiple things per day seems disingenuous?
- barrkel 4y agoYou've posted with a remarkable consistency over the past few days. I went back to 150 submissions and collected the timestamps; the longest you've gone without posting is just shy of 67 minutes. I looked at the distribution of intervals between posts, in minutes, rounded to a single decimal place: 44 30.0 21 35.0 20 35.1 14 29.9 7 65.0 7 60.0 6 34.9 3 40.0 3 30.1 2 60.1 2 28.2 1 66.8 1 65.1 1 61.8 1 55.1 ... this is the top 15 You're highly likely to submit a link every 30 minutes, and if not that, then every 35 minutes. You're practically like clockwork, over 50% of your submissions happen with an interval like this. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12cHy0E6RI0XZ3f14UzzCeb6fHDj8hHQlaZcjM02KVF0/edit?usp=sharing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12cHy0E6RI0XZ3f14UzzC...
