You can hover over the thing and see that 34 users upvoted it. There are also plenty of comments...

Are you projecting? ;)

Now that’s the kind of adversarial thinking we need!

There should be a workshop at TABConf where builders make a STACKERNEWsploit bot that you can pay to generate fake upvotes for stacker news posts. If we don’t do it first, someone else will.

I see they had a 5000 sat boost and due to the seemingly genuine effort put into the post and the content itself it hadn’t even occurred to me they would use an alt account to self promote. You’ve made a good point though, something to be aware of.
