Why would anyone create an account 4 years ago just to use it on a copy of someone else's comment...?

Why would anyone create an account 4 years ago just to use it on a copy of someone else's comment...?
- andrewflnr 2y agoMaybe they deleted their old comments? Maybe some weird bot? I'm mostly frustrated that I flagged it and someone vouched the comment despite it being an obvious dupe from a sketchy account.
- CatWChainsaw 2y agoHN only allows comment deletion for about an hour after you comment, right?
- worldsayshi 2y agoYup the comment is still there as the only one of the account...
- defrost 2y agoPeople do actually generate and not use HN accounts and then later sell them on or give them some life (repeating other comments in days old threads is common) so they can later be used to "chime in entusiastically" when a product is launched. Watch that account and see if it endorse | votes up a submission next week.
