Ask HN: Are users like this a problem?
- umrashrf 15y agoyeah seems like it will give algorithm a hard deal but just my opinion
- drtse4 15y agoConsidering these comments: http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=mquaes http://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=mquaes YES (let's call it a minor annoyance, would be worst if he posted more often).
- tptacek 15y agoNot officially. There are many accounts lIke this on HN. This is a problem Wikipedia has dealt with for ages, and I like their take on it: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Single-purpose_account http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Single-purpose_acco...
- silentscope 15y agoNot as big a problem as downvoters in my opinion...
- gab008 15y agoYes, in my opinion. Users like these get karma while honest opinions get downvoted by people running startups and feeling that there's a "clash" of interests between the comments here and the business they run. My 2 cents.
- DanBC 15y agoYes. The poster is only posting links to their blog. That blog contains a bunch of ads. The content is only mildly interesting for HN. A single post would have been fine. Two posts a day shows -and no other comments- show the author is not interested in discussion at HN, and is just driving traffic, possibly to get ad views. There are many articles on [new] and it's a shame that interesting articles get drowned out by this kind of low quality stuff.
