Please 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.

Ok, lets assume it is a real person regurgitating every old successful post. Does that make it better?

  Many 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.

    I don’t mind that, but re-posting multiple things per day seems disingenuous?

You'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...

  We are supposed to review metrics on this PC for our mobile app every 30 minutes. It's a very tireless duty that we share. In the past we had automated alerts setup for this, but they failed and it lost the company a fair bit, so now we have a share task =(
