Ask HN: What words and phrases describe things that make HN peeps see red?

Certain terms of disdain repeatedly appear in comments: clickbait (by far the most common) virtue signaling astroturfing dark pattern sock puppet troll farm bot ............... Others?

You seem to be mixing intentions with actors here: when the description is accurate, eg for a bot, then there may be no disdain in simply pointing that out.
