It would be a good idea to present stronger evidence before saying HN is astroturfable. It has one of the strongest anti astroturf systems I’ve seen, primarily because of how HN works (which, sadly, is hard to discuss openly).
I believe you about Reddit, but it’s going to be quite hard to buy your way into HN, no matter how cleverly you do it.
I’m not saying it’s impossible. But it’s so easy to believe, and so hard to do, that it warrants skepticism.
