I have witnessed obvious and systematic synthetic upvotes of HN posts. Over and over. I don't think the site has enough protections in place.

Maybe have YC invest in some startups combatting this using machine learning?

(Given the focus of HN it's typically some product being pushed, though. Not a politician.)

It is machine learning, not machine telepathy or machine precognition. Without causality you just automate superstition.

You are saying its not feasible to create an anti-spam filter using machine learning? I mean wtf. Is this a joke?

Edit: Bonus content:

(I tried posting it on its own five times but HN won't let me. It's unclear if it's because of the keywords or something else.)

You should delete the bonus content from this post too because you started with a good point that doesn't deserve to get deleted for irrelevant and confessed-intentional spam.
