Uninteresting tasks won't get upvoted. Interesting tasks get upvoted, and become a story in itself.
Surely it won't have as detrimental effect as anonymous throwaway accounts rich with shallow sarcasm and curse words.
- logicrime 11y agoThe truth hurts, but lies kill. The large majority of HN readers are lurkers, who don't vote at all, the next largest group are those who aren't able to downvote, followed by the smallest group, the downvote-capable. I've got a few accounts that have downvote and dozens without, but it's not enough to stop the constant barrage of stupidity that floods what is supposed to be a news aggregation list. I don't mind seeing SHOW HN:'s, I like seeing what hackers are working on. On the other hand, a bunch of posts TASK HN: Write a C wrapper because I can't do it, that's gonna get old real fuckin' quick. I will shill as hard as I can, but I fear that it won't be enough.
