If the latter wrote the above comment, nobody would question if the real intention was farming for this or that, since it would make practically no difference for the account holder or the passing reader.
I get that twitter/reddit/YT/insta/TT is relevant for product placement, stealth marketing, political PR, propaganda etc. But is there economic value in HN accounts?
Other than the occasional YC startup pitch most of the content here is for the purpose of sharing info/tech discussion.
Am I missing something? Or are people just online 'community' jaded?
I used to care about HN karma a lot before spiritual awakening. Had 2 accounts with 2000+ karma before. It was one of those things that helped in building a grand ego for myself.
Now I just prefer to post from randomly created HN accounts.
You can probably come back a few months later and see this account to be no longer active.
