How did you get over 52,000 karma in under 3 years with no submissions at all?
Are you averaging like 2000+ comments a month?
- mschild 4mo ago3 pages deep into their comment history only brings me to 5 days ago so probably yes.
- Aurornis 4mo agoCommenting more than I should, to be honest. I have a few periods during my daily routine where I’m waiting somewhere away from the computer and need a break from email. A lot of my comments have double digit upvotes and some get into the mid hundreds. I try to actually read articles and provide thoughtful comments, which gets upvoted a lot more than the throwaway. > Are you averaging like 2000+ comments a month? 52000 / 3 years would be under 1500 points per month or 48 points per day. That could be done with 1-2 helpful comments per day on popular threads.
- dotancohen 4mo agoSerious, non-acusatory question. Your writing looks human. Do you use any writing assistants? Where else, other than HN, do you post?
- aquariusDue 4mo agoI browse HN a bit more than I should and I see you and simonw around a lot, like you said always providing thoughtful commentary. When I write comments on here I tend to spend upwards of 15 minutes to draft and reformulate my comments. Sometimes double-checking what I'm about to say (sometimes not thoroughly enough as some of my recent comments show) and I was wondering if you have a similar experience in that regard or do you just manage to fire off a comment in a stream of thought fashion from start to end?
- soperj 4mo agoThey spin up agents, and then give them roles like commenter, and director of quality for the commenter. Although I'm unsure how the director helps since I've never seen one do actual work.
