What is "here" (like what kind of company shares social media accounts other than troll farms?) and how come one of these people decide to post something previously-popular every hour? Do they genuinely find those threads interesting and worth repeating, but never does anyone see something interesting more or less often than once an hour?

- anon2020dot00 4y agoWhat did I insinuate? All I said are the two questions below: 1.) Are you using a script? 2.) What's the motivation? For number 1, you replied that it is shared account, okay. For number two, what's the motivation? No answer.
- ddtaylor 4y agoWhat do you mean motivation?
- anon2020dot00 4y agoAssuming there is no script, it seems quite odd for an account to be posting every hour. It's just not normal behaviour. In Reddit, this would be classified as a bot for karma-farming. Not only myself, but a lot of people find it strange for people to invest their energy and time and attention to be using a shared account to be reposting stuff hourly if not for karma-farming. And it seems to be doing this straight for days at a time, just based on the recent account history.
- ddtaylor 4y agoI don't think most are stuck with a mind-numbing job of logging into a stupid remote PC to track metrics. We look for any entertainment we can find and leave little notes and stuff for the next person.
- anon2020dot00 4y agoOk got it. But it's hard for me to imagine, people with so much consistency and who find posting on Hacker News to be entertaining. If that was me, I'd probably do different things instead of finding entertainment in doing the same thing again and again every hour of posting on Hacker News.
- ddtaylor 4y agoI'm sure everyone has different things that entertain them. I play a game of minesweeper every time but I am terrible at it still.
