I agree with the fact this is something we should not use.
If the point to such service is karma whore-ing, I suppose it's "lame".
The point is it's very hard to know when the service is active or not, and when something should be posted to be (potentially) read by the most, to be fully efficient for the community.
I have no doubt that if some post doesn't provide any interest, it won't be up-voted. So, even if such "tool" is used, the power of it is kind of relative.
- ekianjo 14y agoIsn't hacker news supposed to be about "hacking" ? :) If someone finds a clever way to get better results on hacker news without cheating, I do not see it as "lame", rather inventive.
- bpatrianakos 14y agoIt is about Hacking. Not points. Which is exactly why this shouldn't he used. It's about news that Hackers are into. This isn't Reddit. This isn't Stackoverflow. But I fear that may not be the case in the not too distant future.
