Is there proof of this?

  Proof definitely needed. Honestly this doesn’t sound like something HN would have any interest in doing, they don’t serve ads or anything like that so why would they care?

    Ban evasion?

    They do definitely limit upvoting/downvoting from similar accounts, so this isn't out of the realm of possibility. They care to avoid false votes, voting rings, etc.

      Oh yeah that’s a fair point! But I’d hope the data isn’t used outside of that use
