I'd like to have some information within 1) time frame of this from 0-80 upvotes which feels the most upward of this curve and 2) time frame of the whole article and I would like three datapoints in all of this:
So imagine we take every people who upvoted this thread and then we find three data points and average (median not mean for better representation) them together for anonymity purposes:
1. The date of the accounts
2. The karma of the accounts
3. The words written by those accounts (optional) [But I have done some work on that and I have found this to be a good factor on if someone is truly a bot or not]
Because, Although you mention that the upvotes are fine. I'd still really appreciate it if we can find any form of data backing that statement up and hopefully knowing that nothing fishy is going on as you may understand that this company has done a lot of fishy stuff in its past and all the fishy stuff which I have talked about in this thread too makes me feel like just a minor bit more deeper look into it/transparency would personally be really appreciated and the community would like it too!
Have a nice day dang and looking forward to your next comment!
It was just that they raised quite a large number of red alerts for me personally with the whole thing.
Just to be on the same page, Is there anything suspicious about the upvotes in this page in sense of being upvoted by bot accounts in general from your observation especially during the start of this thread?
Can you please just talk more about this as in confirmation because I still have some disbelief about it given its shady history and the whole way this thread unfolded. I feel as if there feels some likelihood to me that this post got (bot-upvoted?) at some point or the other.
Or did all of the upvotes came from genuine account and it was just that this got to front page due to hackernews preferential treatment? Can you just talk more about it because if anything, I might still learn something new either way.
Dang, Has there ever been any YC startup which employed in shady practice like using bots to upvote their HN posts or use bot accounts which got caught in the history of this website?
