>average commenters Average commenters hasn't been worth the effort, at least pre chatgpt. Everytime one of these foreign (non English country) programs gets revealed, the underlying pattern is concentrated effort coordinated against visible voices on public platforms with high dissemination potential (not HN). There's a reason they're spamming reporting to silence instead of just drown out with counter content is because it takes a lot of effort, disproportionate amount, to disrupt even one voice. Especially by non English speaking countries where English fluency is much better allocated and rewarded for other sectors. Up until now, coordinated groups are limited / busy with a few dozen/hundred state enemies, not yhour average commenter, and even then they don't have time/energy/resources to "particpate" in discussions. Even PRC, with all their resources, coordiated campaigns was mostly limited to twitter size responses, most of the time splamming pro PRC platitudes instead of engaging in topic, because ROI of genuinely exchanging paragraphs of discussion with some nobody on HN or reddit is terrible. Of course this is pre LLM.
