You should assume that HN is popular enough to have astroturf in it, by now. Maybe not as much as reddit, but still.
- comfypotato 4y agoSee my response to the other similar comment. I definitely do what you say. It’s still an oasis in the sense that it’s much better than any alternative that I’ve found.
- ageitgey 4y agoI can tell you from experience that VCs think of "front page of hacker news" as a positive signal for a prospective investment. There probably isn't much product recommendation comment spam here (reddit has more reach), but I'm sure there is incentive to game the front page to get a start-up noticed.
